Healthcare utilization after a children's health insurance program expansion in Oregon.
This study used electornic health record data from 154 Oregon community health centers to evaluate children's healthcare utilization after the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) expansion. The authors found that utilization among the newly-insured remained higher than the uninsured group. This finding confirms that Children's Health Insurance Program expansions are associated with increased utilization of essential pediatric primary and preventive care.

Addressing electronic clinical information in the construction of quality measures.
The authors draw on the experience of Centers of Excellence to review both structural and pragmatic considerations in e-measurement. They suggest that addressing these challenges will require investment by vendors, researchers, and clinicians alike in developing better pediatric content for standard terminologies and data models, encouraging wider adoption of technical standards that support reliable quality measurement, better harmonizing data collection with clinical work flow in EHRs, and better understanding the behavior and potential of e-measures.
