An AHRQ and CMS perspective on the pediatric quality measures program.
This article describes the Pediatric Quality Measures Program (PQMP). The PQMP has worked to close gaps in children’s health care quality by increasing the portfolio of new measures and methods as envisioned by the CHIPRA legislation. It is the adoption and use of these measures that can lead to improvements in the quality of care and elimination of disparities in health care for children over time.

Systematic evidence-based quality measurement life-cycle approach to measure retirement in CHIPRA.
The authors assessed selected child core set (CCS) measures for potential retirement. The Subcommittee of the National Advisory Council on Healthcare Research and Quality recommended 3 measures for retirement: access to primary care; testing for strep before recommending antibiotics for pharyngitis; and annual HbA1c testing of children with diabetes. CMS recommended that state Medicaid and CHIP programs retire 2 of the recommended measures from the CCS, but retained the access to primary care measure.
