The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality is requesting nominations for children's healthcare quality measures, according to an announcement published in the Federal Register.
AHRQ is seeking measures of children's healthcare quality for potential inclusion in the CHIPRA 2013 Improved Core Set of Health Care Quality Measures for potential voluntary use by Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program. HHS anticipates that measures ultimately included in the Improved Core Set will also be used by public and private purchasers to measure pediatric healthcare quality.
