Funded by the Children's Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2009 (CHIPRA), the Quality Demonstration Grant Program aims to identify effective, replicable strategies for enhancing quality of care for children. The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality is leading the national evaluation of this program.</p> <p>As a group, the 18 demonstration States are implementing 52 projects in five general categories:</p> <ul> <li>Using quality measures to improve child health care.</li> <li>Applying health information technology for quality improvement.</li> <li>Implementing provider-based delivery models.</li> <li>Investigating a model format for pediatric electronic health records (EHRs).</li> <li>Assessing the utility of other innovative approaches to enhance quality.</li> </ul> <p>Through this Web page, you can find information about these projects and the national evaluation. Specifically, you can select the various tabs and information boxes to learn more about:</p> <ul> <li>The projects that each demonstration State is implementing (select <a href="/web/20140702220958/http://www.ahrq.gov/policymakers/chipra/demoeval/demostates/index.html">Learn About the Demonstration States</a>).</li> <li>The specific projects being implemented under each of the five categories (select one of the five specific strategies for quality improvement, such as <a href="/web/20140702220958/http://www.ahrq.gov/policymakers/chipra/demoeval/childhealth/index.html">Using the Core Set of Children's Quality Measures</a>).</li> <li>Reports that the national evaluation team has produced on specific evaluation topics and questions (select <a href="/web/20140702220958/http://www.ahrq.gov/policymakers/chipra/demoeval/what-we-learned/index.html">What We Learned</a>).</li> <li>Reports and resources provided by the demonstration States (select <a href="/web/20140702220958/http://www.ahrq.gov/policymakers/chipra/demoeval/state-reports/index.html">Reports from the States</a>).</li> <li>Our approach to the national evaluation, including the evaluation design and methods (select <a href="/web/20140702220958/http://www.ahrq.gov/policymakers/chipra/demoeval/evaluate-more/index.html">More about the Evaluation</a>).</li> <li>New findings, events, and publications from the national and State evaluations (select <a href="/web/20140702220958/http://www.ahrq.gov/policymakers/chipra/demoeval/whatsnew.html">What's New?</a>).</li> </ul> <p>You can also keep up to date about results from the national and State evaluations by subscribing to our <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140702220958/https://subscriptions.ahrq.gov/accounts/USAHRQ/subscriber/new?topic_id=USAHRQ_134">email updates</a>.</p> <p>To contact the team that is conducting the national evaluation of the CHIPRA Quality Demonstration Grant Program, send an email to <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140702220958/mailto:CHIPRADemoEval@ahrq.hhs.gov">CHIPRADemoEval@ahrq.hhs.gov</a>.</p> <p><strong>Please note:</strong> This Web site uses the term "national evaluation" to distinguish this evaluation of the entire demonstration program from evaluations commissioned or undertaken by grantees.
