Implementing Effective Programs and Understanding Their Impacts
Welcome to the SCHIP: Implementing
Effective Programs
and Understanding Their Impacts online learning program.
Before accessing this program you must first agree to the following. If you agree to these statements, please click on "Agree" at the bottom of this page to enter the program.
This online learning program is based on two classroom workshops offered by the Agency for healthcare Policy and Research (AHCPR) User Liaison Program (ULP) on June 29 - July 1, 1998, and September 14 - 16, 1998. The information of this site summarizes presentations of a number of health systems experts and State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) leaders. This program and the workshops on which it is based were designed to assist State health policymakers in understanding the dynamics of SCHIP implementation and accessing and using research findings to develop and implement their initial SCHIP programs.
Because the workshops on which this program is based were originally presented in 1998, they do not always represent current Department of Health and Human Services policy and guidance on SCHIP. For the most current SCHIP policies, see the healthcare Financing Administration's Children's Health Insurance Program Web site at: http://cms.hhs.gov/schip/. In addition, information on State implementation strategies may not be current. For more up-to-date information use the Internet links provided in this program.
This program will be updated and revised to reflect current regulations and practice early in the year 2000.
