The CAH Profiles demonstrate the impact of CAH conversion, describe their technical assistance grant histories, and share their successes and challenges. The information included on the profiles was collected from various sources: hospital administrators, the Colorado Health& Hospital Association, hospital web sites, and Colorado Rural Health Center (CRHC) files.

In order to evaluate the financial impact of the program, information was gathered for eight facilities that have been operating as Critical Access Hospitals for at least two years. The information was obtained from the Colorado Health & Hospital Association's DATABANK® system. The average for these eight hospitals is included on each profile. For these eight hospitals additional financial information such as length of stay, payroll, and number of full time equivalents is also noted.
