Strengthening the Core Set of Healthcare Quality Measures for Children Enrolled in Medicaid and CHIP, 2014 

This final report contains MAP’s recommendations to HHS for strengthening and revising measures in the Core Set of Health Care Quality Measures for Children Enrolled in Medicaid and CHIP (Child Core Set). MAP supports all but one of the measures in the current Child Core Set for continued use in the program and six measures for phased addition to the Child Core Set. This expedited review focused on addressing high-priority measure gaps as well as cross-cutting and strategic issues. These strategic issues, as well as any newly-endorsed measures in critical gap areas, will be considered further during the MAP’s next review of the Child Core Set, scheduled to be completed by August 2015.
