State Health System Performance
The State Health System Performance measures show how states serve Medicaid and CHIP beneficiaries in six areas:
- Promoting communication & care coordination
- Reducing harm in care delivery
- Promoting prevention & treatment of chronic diseases
- Strengthening engagement in care
- Making care affordable
- Working with communities to promote healthy living
The graph below shows the national median for all of the State Health System Performance Measures. State-specific performance in the following areas can be found by clicking the domain links to the left. In some cases, states are just beginning to report these voluntary measures. Over time, more states may choose to report these measures and work to incorporate them into quality improvement programs.
A searchable format for Scorecard measures is not currently available.
