Next Steps

SNAC-recommended Initial Core Set, September 18, 2009

A final recommended set of quality measures for children enrolled in Medicaid and CHIP programs will be posted for general comment by January 1, 2010. To that end, the CHIPRA Federal Quality Workgroup discussed the SNAC-recommended core set of measures on September 23, 2009. In addition, comments on them were solicited at a CMS listening session for Medicaid and CHIP officials on September 29, 2009.

CMS-AHRQ-recommended initial core set to the Secretary, HHS, for her consideration, and then to the White House Office of Management and Budget for its review for general comment, by January 1, 2010.

Public comments on the process of identifying the initial core measure set for voluntary use by Medicaid and CHIP programs are continuously invited via the email address at https://www.ahrq.gov/chipra/.
