New State Reports from CHIPRA Demonstrations

New State Reports from CHIPRA Demonstrations

New Resources from Demonstration States Available on National Evaluation Site Maine and Massachusetts, two of the 18 States participating in the CHIPRA Quality Demonstration Grant Program, have each recently issued a report on findings and lessons learned from its grant that may guide others in pursuing similar initiatives. The new resources are: From Maine: A report on Phase III of an initiative to support measure-driven practice improvement in pediatric and family practices across the State. Phase III focused on oral health care and healthy weight for children. (In the "Using the Core Set of Quality Measures" section.) From Massachusetts: A report detailing lessons learned about care coordination from the State’s Medical Home Learning Collaborative (In the "Evaluating Provider-Based Models" section.) You can access both of these resources and more from CHIPRA quality demonstration States at: http://www.ahrq.gov/policymakers/chipra/demoeval/state-reports/index.html. New resources will be added as they become available.
