MCH-MRN Measure Set Profiles

The Child and Adolescent Health Measurement Initiative's (CAHMI) interactive compendium of MCH measures contains over 1,000 measures from 11 measure sets used by national programs such as Title V, Medicaid/CHIP, Healthy People 2020, Child Welfare, PQMP and more.  

The CAHMI has created short profiles of each of these 11 measure sets, which include information on the set’s developers and funders, purpose, topic categories, target populations, reporting requirements, and more. (You can also find a twelfth, additional profile of the Head Start Program Information Report. This report contains emerging measures which do not yet have the specifications needed for inclusion in the interactive compendium.) To view each measure set profile, click on the links below.
