Achieving Consensus on Measure-Driven Child Health Quality: Maine’s Improving Health Outcomes for Children Initiative
TL;DRAbstract
Public Law 111-3, the Children’s Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2009 (CHIPRA), includes provisions for identifying standardized children’s health care quality measures for Medicaid and Child Health Insurance Programs (CHIP). The Law was intended to address concerns that the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) had no “uniform system for assessing quality of care for children across states.”1 Twenty-four “CHIPRA core measures” were identified by a national group of experts as key metrics for states to report on to capture specific aspects of the quality of children’s health care and to help identify quality deficits at various levels (e.g., health care systems, health plans, health centers, and individual providers).2
