After the demonstration: what states sustained after the end of federal grants to improve children's health care quality.
As part of the CHIPRA Quality Demonstration Grant Program’s multifaceted evaluation, this study examined the extent to which states sustained key program activities after the demonstration ended. It concluded that as a result of the federal government's investment in this grant program, many demonstration states are in a strong position to extend and spread specific strategies for improving the quality of care for children in Medicaid and CHIP.

This study was conducted to identify which aspects of these collaboratives were viewed by organizers and participants as working well and which were not. It found that aspects of collaboratives that interviewees valued were aimed at attracting participation, maintaining engagement, or facilitating learning.

What factors influence states' capacity to report children's health care quality measures? A multiple-case study.
The objective of this study was to describe factors that influence the ability of state Medicaid agencies to report the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services' (CMS) core set of children's health care quality measures . Reporting capacity was influenced by a state's Medicaid data availability, ability to link to other state data systems, past experience with quality measurement, staff time and technical expertise, and demand for the measures.
