Colorado natural medicine
How Arcametric helps Colorado facilitators and healing centers
Keep the identified participant record where Colorado requires it. Keep the treatment journey structured.
Colorado asks facilitators to document a detailed record across screening, preparation, administration, integration, natural medicine use, safety, and outcomes. It also requires that the statutory participant record identify the participant and be searchable by name.
Arcametric is deliberately different. No writable field can hold a participant's name. That means it should sit beside your identified record, not replace it. The local record carries identity. Arcametric gives the treatment journey a consistent, de-identified structure you can review and use later.
The boundary matters. Colorado's rules require an identified participant record. Arcametric's architecture excludes participant names. The credible fit is a companion evidence layer, not a substitute chart.
Preparation
Structure what happens before administration
Capture preparation, consent status, safety screening, medications, baseline measures, and other structured pre-session context in a repeatable format.
Administration
Build the session record while it happens
Record authoritative start and end times, dose events, vitals, interventions, safety events, and a chronological session timeline without relying on memory after the fact.
Integration
Keep follow-up connected to the session
Document integration sessions, follow-up plans, longitudinal assessments, homework, safety review, and outcome trajectories from the same treatment arc.
Evidence
Turn structured records into usable outputs
Generate governed reports and exports from the same structured record, including session timelines, adverse-event reports, follow-up summaries, and clinical outcomes reports.
The Colorado workflow
One treatment arc, several kinds of required evidence
Colorado's facilitator rules organize Natural Medicine Services around preparation, administration, and integration. Arcametric follows the same basic sequence, but it does not claim to capture every statutory document Colorado requires.
Preparation
Colorado expects
Screening, informed consent, safety and support planning, transportation planning, fee arrangements, touch agreements, disclosures, and preparation-session timing.
Arcametric currently structures
Preparation activity, consent status, safety screening, medications, mental-health measures, baseline context, preparation attestations, intentions, mindset, expectancy, and preparation duration.
Administration
Colorado expects
Session date and timing, regulated natural medicine product and amount, single or multiple dosing, adverse reactions, facilitator response, and other required session evidence.
Arcametric currently structures
Authoritative session start and end, dose events, vitals, timeline events, interventions, structured observations, and adverse-event capture.
Integration
Colorado expects
Integration-session timing and participant-reported outcomes where provided, along with the broader participant record.
Arcametric currently structures
Integration sessions, follow-up plans, safety review, assessments, homework, outcome trajectories, and completion reporting.
Colorado's Rule 6.22 is unusually close to Arcametric's data model
Colorado separately requires facilitators to collect and provide de-identified data covering categories such as participant identifier, screening, reasons for seeking services, session type, clinical or experiential purpose, preparation/administration/integration timing, natural medicine product and amount, outcomes, and adverse health events.
Important limit: Arcametric already structures several of those categories, but it is not currently a complete Rule 6.22 submission dataset and does not submit data to Colorado on your behalf.
Two regulatory layers
Facilitators and healing centers do not carry the same recordkeeping burden
Colorado divides oversight between the Office of Natural Medicine Licensure, which governs facilitators, and the Department of Revenue's Natural Medicine Division, which governs healing centers and natural medicine businesses.
| Regulatory layer | What the rules focus on | Where Arcametric can help today |
|---|
| Facilitator record | Participant documentation across consent, screening, plans, session timing, product/dose, adverse reactions, outcomes, and disclosures. The required record must identify the participant and be searchable by name. | Structured preparation, administration-session evidence, adverse-event capture, integration, assessments, follow-up, and governed reports. The identified statutory record remains outside Arcametric. |
| De-identified data collection | Rule 6.22 requires a separate de-identified data set covering multiple demographic, screening, session, product, outcome, and safety fields. | Arcametric's de-identified architecture already aligns with several of these data categories, which reduces the amount of information that has to be reconstructed later. |
| Healing-center records | Natural Medicine Division rules impose business and administration-session recordkeeping obligations on healing centers and other licensed natural medicine businesses. | Arcametric can supply structured session evidence and exportable treatment records, but it does not replace required business, inventory, or state tracking systems. |
| Adverse events | Colorado distinguishes facilitator and natural-medicine-business reporting obligations, with different triggers and reporting clocks. | Arcametric provides structured adverse-event capture and an Adverse Event Report so the underlying event evidence is not buried in narrative notes. |
Scope
What Arcametric does not replace
Your identified participant record. Colorado requires facilitator records to identify the participant and be searchable by participant name. Arcametric cannot hold a participant name, so it is not the complete statutory record.
Colorado reporting portals or submissions. Arcametric does not currently file Rule 6.22 data, adverse-event reports, license-renewal materials, or other submissions with Colorado agencies.
Natural medicine inventory and product tracking. Arcametric documents dose events within treatment records. It does not currently replace the Natural Medicine Division's required inventory, transfer, sales, or regulated-product tracking systems.
Every required facilitator form. Colorado requires documents that are not currently represented as complete Arcametric workflows, including fee agreements, transportation-plan documentation, and physical-touch contracts.
A legal conclusion. Arcametric can show what evidence was captured. It does not determine that a facilitator, healing center, or session is "Colorado compliant."
Clinical judgment. Arcametric documents and surfaces information. It does not tell a facilitator whether to provide services or what dose to administer.
See the record before you judge the software
The fastest way to understand Arcametric is to look at the outputs built from the structured treatment record. Review the Session Timeline, Adverse Event Report, Follow-Up Plan Completion Summary, and clinical outcomes examples.
Source basis. Colorado Office of Natural Medicine Licensure, 4 CCR 755-1, including Rules 5.3, 6.3, and 6.22; Colorado Department of Revenue Natural Medicine Division business rules. Rule 6.3 requires participant records to identify the participant and be searchable by name, and Rule 6.22 requires facilitators to collect and submit specified de-identified data. Regulatory requirements can change. This brief describes current Arcametric capabilities and is not legal advice.
