A User's Guide to the Database of Publicly Available Medicaid and CHIP Performance Measure Reports

State Medicaid programs and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) collect and track a wide variety of performance measures across many domains in an effort to monitor their progress on specific goals and to meet federal and state reporting requirements. States report many of these measures publicly via websites, with the goal of providing information to and improving program transparency for a number of external and internal stakeholders.
