Medicaid Statistical Information System (MSIS): A Data Source for Quality Reporting for Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP)
Abstract
Section 401 of the Children’s Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2009 (CHIPRA) requires the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to identify and publish healthcare quality measures for children enrolled in the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) or Medicaid. CHIPRA also requires core measures to identify disparities by race and ethnicity, among other factors.
