      Increasing public investments in health care services for low-income and special needs children and adolescents in the United States have raised questions about whether these efforts improve their health outcomes. Yet it is difficult to assess the general health status and health care quality for younger populations, especially those at risk of poor health outcomes, because the United States has no national information system that can provide timely, comprehensive, and reliable indicators in these areas for children and adolescents. Without such a system in place, it is difficult to know whether and how selected health care initiatives and programs contribute to children's health status.Child and Adolescent Health and Health Care Quality identifies key advances in the development of pediatric health and health care quality measures, examines the capacity of existing federal data sets to support these measures, and considers related research activities focused on the development of new measures to address current gaps. This book posits the need for a comprehensive strategy to make better use of existing data, to integrate different data sources, and to develop new data sources and collection methods for unique populations. Child and Adolescent Health and Health Care Quality looks closely at three areas: the nature, scope, and quality of existing data sources; gaps in measurement areas; and methodological areas that deserve attention.Child and Adolescent Health and Health Care Quality makes recommendations for improving and strengthening the timeliness, quality, public transparency, and accessibility of information on child health and health care quality. This book will be a vital resource for health officials at the local, state, and national levels, as well as private and public health care organizations and researchers.Table of ContentsFront MatterSummary1 Introduction2 Setting the Stage3 Current Data Collection Methods and Sources4 Existing Measures of Child and Adolescent Health5 Measures of Quality of Child and Adolescent Health Care6 Conclusions and RecommendationsReferencesAppendix A: List of AcronymsAppendix B: Workshop Agenda and ParticipantsAppendix C: Private-Sector Initiatives to Advance Health CareQuality and the Development of Quality MeasuresAppendix D: Overview of Data Sources for Measures of Health CareQuality for Children and AdolescentsAppendix E: Biographical Sketches of Committee Members and StaffAppendix F: Population Health DataAppendix G: Administrative DataIndex
