PQMP Phase 2: Implementation and Dissemination.

Abstract

In 2009, the Children's Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act provided an opportunity to consider and enhance the measurement of children's health care quality as a means to improve child health.1 The legislation required the identification of an initial Child Core Set of pediatric quality measures for voluntary use by Medicaid/Child Health Insurance Programs. The initial child core set was published in 2009 and is updated annually with 2024 being the first year of mandatory reporting.2
