Resources from CHIPRA Quality Demonstration States

New Resources from Massachusetts Available on National Evaluation Site

Massachusetts, one of 18 States participating in the CHIPRA Quality Demonstration Grant Program, has recently issued two new reports on interim findings and lessons learned from its grant that may guide others in pursuing similar initiatives. The new resources include:

• Results of focus groups with families and interviews with providers on the usefulness of quality measures (Using the Core Set of Quality Measures)
• Findings from a patient experience survey taken by parents of children enrolled in primary care practices participating in the Medical Home Learning Collaborative (Evaluating Provider-Based Models)

You can access all 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.
