Ana English is the President and CEO of the Colorado Center for Improving Value in Health Care (CIVHC) and she has announced her retirement effective at the end of the year. Ana joined CIVHC in 2014, and under her leadership the organization has grown considerably in supporting change agents by enhancing products and services, expanding public reporting, and increasing overall revenue. During Ana’s tenure with the organization, CIVHC worked to make the Colorado APCD a leading resource among state APCDs while innovating its utility and expanding support services in Colorado and across the country. Using APCD data, CIVHC produces analyses for a variety of stakeholders including state agencies, providers and health systems, employers and consumers. CIVHC supports a number of legislative initiatives aimed at making health care more affordable, such as legislation to protect consumers from surprise billing and investments in primary care. Additionally, publicly available data like CIVHC’s Shop for Care tool and Community Dashboard increase health care transparency for Coloradans, and non-public data makes research and other innovative projects possible where in other states this important information is inaccessible.
