Strengthen Person & Family Engagement as Partners in their Care
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services organizes measures in the state health system performance pillar of the Scorecard using the domains defined in the Meaningful Measures initiative. The initiative identifies the highest priority areas for quality measurement and improvement. The measures in this domain focus on engaging Medicaid and Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) beneficiaries as partners in their care, which helps ensure that they are making informed decisions about their care. Informed decisions can lead to improved satisfaction with care and quality of life for beneficiaries and their families.
This measure reports on states’ use of three experience of care surveys administered to long-term services and support (LTSS) beneficiaries. Surveys included in the count are:
Administration of the three surveys is voluntary. States vary in how often they administer surveys and the proportion of the LTSS population covered by surveys. The count below includes surveys administered since 2018. States may also use other surveys to understand the experiences of their LTSS beneficiaries. |
