["The Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) was re-authorized in 2009, ushering in an unprecedented focus on children's health care quality one of which includes identifying a core set of performance measures for voluntary reporting by states' Medicaid/CHIP programs. However, there is a wide variation in the quantity and quality of measures states chose to report to the Center's for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). The objective of this study is to assess reporting barriers and to identify potential opportunities for improvement.", 'From 2013 to 2014 a questionnaire developed in coordination with CMS and the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) was sent to state Medicaid and CHIP officials to assess barriers to child health quality reporting for Federal Fiscal Year 2012. States were categorized as high, medium, or low reporting for comparative analysis.', "Twenty-five of the 50 states and the District of Columbia agreed to participate in the study and completed the questionnaire. States placed a high priority on children's health care quality reporting (4.2 of 5 point Likert Scale, SD 0.99) and 96% plan to use measurement results to further improve their quality initiatives. However, low reporting states believed they had inadequate staffing and that data collection and extraction was too time-consuming than high reporting states."] Does state challenge to child health quality measure reporting and recommendations for improvement?
