NQF’s Measure Applications Partnership (MAP) will convene two multistakeholder workgroups to provide guidance to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) on metrics to improve healthcare quality for the nation’s Medicaid population. These efforts continue NQF’s foundational work to help the federal government improve Medicaid services using standardized performance measures that allow for state-to-state comparisons.

Medicaid Adult Workgroup

The Medicaid Adult Workgroup is convened to review measures in the core set of health care quality measures for Medicaid-eligible adults (Adult Core Set) and identify ways in which the Core Set can be strengthened to improve quality, reduce unnecessary measure reporting burden, and foster more unified use across states.

Medicaid Child Workgroup

The Medicaid Child Workgroup is convened to review measures in the core set of health care quality measures for children enrolled in Medicaid/CHIP (Child Core Set) and identify ways in which the Core Set can be strengthened to improve quality, reduce unnecessary measure reporting burden, and foster more unified use across states.
