Community Living Quality Improvement Committee (CLQIC)

We will:

• Turn off or silence our cell phones;
• Not place barriers between ourselves and others and so will not use laptops or tablets;  
• Arrive on time so we can begin on time;
• End on time and not leave early;
• Respect one another by not interrupting, not monopolizing the conversation and not having side conversations when someone is speaking;
• Speak for ourselves and not for others by always using ‘I’ language, owning what we say;
• When reflecting on what another person has said, we will say what we hear them to have said and check with them that our hearing is correct;
• Honor the use of name tents to indicate when we wish to speak;
• Respect other process tools implemented by the facilitator.​

Community Living Quality Improvement Committee (CLQIC) Biographies

The Colorado Department of Health Care Policy & Financing (HCPF) houses an advisory committee focused on quality improvement for HCPF’s Office of Community Living (OCL). The Community Living Quality Improvement Committee (CLQIC) provides input to the OCL on the development of a robust quality strategy from a person-centered perspective.

The CLQIC meets on a monthly basis for two hours. The committee is interested in membership inclusive of persons with lived experiences, caregivers, providers and related stakeholders of the following child and adult populations:

• Older Adults                                    
• Intellectual or Developmental Disabilities
• Cognitive Disabilities                  
• Physical Disabilities
• Mental Health Disabilities        
• Behavioral Disabilities
• Substance Use Disorders

The CLQIC’s charter mandates open recruitment, and applications are reviewed on an ongoing basis. That said, membership is based on keeping diverse representation on CLQIC. Therefore, simply submitting an application does not ensure acceptance onto CLQIC.

If you are interested in becoming a member of the CLQIC, please fill out an application.  Your application will be reviewed within in the month it is received and the CLQIC Chairperson will follow up with you on the Committee’s decision.

If you have any additional questions, comments or feedback, contact Danielle Culp by email Danielle.Culp@state.co.us or by phone, 303-866-5897.

Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.
