Glad I can help! I'm hearing it ought to be smooth sailing in the Senate - as long as nothing unforeseen happens. I remember though back in 2007 the Senate committee was where davita almost stopped us - we got out by a vote! So we aren't taking anything for granted.

While we are waiting for a state Senate committee date, thought I would post the graphs we gave to the Colorado state legislators. Particularly we asked them to pay attention to the sepsis graph - a worrisome uptrend for an infection that can be fatal, but from 2008-2009 there was a significant dip for Colorado. Could it be because here in Colorado we were implementing our tech certification program?
We compared Colorado to California after reading about their 56% tech pass rate, compared to Colorado's 80-93% pass rate.
