At the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) we are focused on transforming the healthcare system into one that delivers better value to patients through competition and innovation. To achieve this, we have three main objectives: empowering patients, focusing on results, and unleashing innovation. The Medicaid and CHIP Scorecard supports our objective of focusing on results because it brings a new level of transparency and accountability to the Medicaid program.
Today we continue to build on our efforts to strengthen accountability through improvements to the Scorecard and data transparency. As part of our commitment to robust public reporting of quality and financial metrics that drive performance improvement, we are pleased to announce the release of updated FFY 2017 Child and Adult Core Set data and resources. The updated FFY 2017 data and resources provide information on 20 frequently reported child measures and 19 frequently reported adult measures voluntarily reported by states.
This release updates the FFY 2017 data and resources that were posted on Medicaid.gov in September 2018 and includes additional data reported by states during a one-time extension period for reporting Core Set measures included in the Medicaid and CHIPScorecard. CMS provided states that missed the deadline for FFY 2017 reporting with an opportunity to report these Core Set measures for possible inclusion in the next version of the Scorecard.
