Today the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) released a
data refresh of the Medicaid and Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP)
Scorecard to reflect states’ progress in increasing their reporting of
patients’ health outcomes, particularly related to behavioral health.
The first Scorecard released last year promoted a significant step to
improve transparency and accountability through public reporting. The
Scorecard includes measures, many that are voluntarily reported by states,
as well as federally reported measures in three areas: (1) State Health
System Performance; (2) State Administrative Accountability; and (3)
Federal Administrative Accountability. For this data refresh, we have
updated the national context and the State Health System Performance pillar
pages with the most recently available data.
This data refresh comes amidst CMS’s ongoing efforts to transform
Medicaid by fostering increased state flexibility, promoting accountability
and ensuring program integrity for taxpayers.
Visit
the Medicaid & CHIP Scorecard page on Medicaid.gov.
