Slide 10. Scope for Core Measurement Set

Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) Progress Report to the AHRQ National Advisory Council

Slide 10. Scope for Core Measurement Set

  1. Must be realistic about staffing/funding needs for pulling/analyzing/reporting available data.
  2. Comprehensive effort to find good measures for all service categories, duration of enrollment, and other aspects of care required by the legislation; however, if no good measures currently exist for a given aspect of care, a measure will not be recommended for the core set.
  3. Include measures not currently used by Medicaid/CHIP:
    • e.g. State and national measurement efforts.
  4. Choose measures that are actionable:
    • There should be clear steps a State can take to improve on performance—the measure should inform what these steps need to be.
