Louise Cardillo, R.N. B.S., Cardillo Consultants:"Legal Nurse Consulting firm for ten years. I am a strong liason between attorney's, clients and experts. The strength of all cases is in meticulous attention to detail of medical records and choosing the appropriate expert. This aspect of consulting will bring your cases to closure with damages often above expectation. Experience in this field is critical to the success of working with a Legal Nurse Consultant. In addition, the nurse must have a strong clinical foundation and education.

State of Colorado
Department of Health Care Policy & Financing:"This Internet site is provided as a resource for policy-makers, health care consumers, providers, and all citizens of Colorado.
As the state agency responsible for the administration of the Medicaid program, the Department of Health Care Policy and Financing faces many challenges. In a time of fiscal constraints and increasing health care access problems, the Department is finding more efficient and effective ways to provide health care for low-income Coloradans.
As one of the largest purchasers of health care in the State of Colorado, the Department's purchasing methods affect the overall health care market. The Department’s purchasing methods are designed to improve access to care and the quality of health services delivered to clients, to offer consumers choice of providers and health plans, and to encourage providers and plans to compete with one another based on price, quality, and accessibility."

Center for Health Care Policy and Evaluation:"The Center's mission is to generate objective information that will contribute to improving health care delivery, advancing the health of the public, and better informing public policymakers, health care organizations and government agencies.
The Center for Health Care Policy and Evaluation was created over a decade ago to generate timely, useable, and objective research to help improve the health system and to advance the health of the public.
The Center's connection to UnitedHealth Group provides a link to over 40 affiliated health care plans and their managers. This resource of operational knowledge, innovation, and experience gives the Center's research a real-world practicality. It also provides access to an enormous array of medical management information data reflecting a broad cross section of the population. As a result, researchers at the Center and their collaborators have unique research opportunities to take an objective look at what works and what doesn't in health care delivery."
