Pre-RFPPublic HealthDetected Jun 17, 2026

CDPHE’s Health Facilities and Emergency Medical Services Division is updating 6 CCR 1011-1 Chapter 13 for freestanding emergency departments to implement SB25-130. The adopted changes clarify emergency medical condition and stabilization definitions, mandate EMTALA-like screening and treatment prior to payment inquiries, strengthen transfer criteria and documentation, and explicitly bar discrimination in emergency services as these facilities are treated as places of public accommodation. These requirements apply to 28 licensed freestanding emergency departments and will necessitate updates to policies, transfer agreements, documentation (including logs and transfer packets), and staff training by the August 14, 2026 effective date.Vendors providing emergency department operations consulting, regulatory compliance, EHR configuration, training, and patient rights communication can help FSEDs operationalize the new standards and prepare for increased survey and enforcement activity.

Applies to 28 licensed FSEDs statewide; includes detailed transfer procedures requiring records, certifications, and qualified transport; supports future survey/enforcement by CDPHE.

Appendix G added a cardiac emergency response plan covering sudden cardiac arrest, AED use, CPR, and EMS coordination. The district listed AED locations across its schools and said all staff know where the devices are and how to call for help. This is an implementation and training signal tied to Desha's Law and annual safety training, with possible needs for AED service, pads, cabinets, and staff training support. The plan was part of the August 19, 2026 adoption.

Public Updates

A petition was submitted to initiate rulemaking for a new statewide emergency communication rule covering adult day programs and residential providers. This is an early policy move, so no vendor has been selected yet, but it creates a future compliance and communications need if the rule advances. The practical next step is watching whether the board opens rulemaking.

Appendix D lays out the district's communicable disease continuation of operations plan required by state law. It covers essential staff, telecommuting, staggered shifts, PPE supply, disinfection, contact tracing, remote work, and emergency housing options. This is a compliance-driven planning artifact rather than a procurement award, but it creates recurring needs in technology, PPE, cleaning, and continuity planning. The plan was included in the August 19, 2026 adoption.
