The Center for Medicaid & CHIP Services (CMCS), a division of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), is supporting a pilot mobile health (mHealth) program in California, Louisiana, Ohio, and Oklahoma. The three-year mHealth project is being conducted to complement existing CMCS measurement, data collection, and reporting activities to monitor, track, and assess stateâs maternal and infant health efforts in Medicaid and CHIP populations. This project focuses on developing key measures of maternal and infant child health in the Medicaid population. This information will be used in monitoring performance of the participating states on the Maternity Core Set measures and in updating the Adult Core Set annually as required by Section 2701 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA). Data for the evaluation will come from several primary and secondary data sources. The three primary data sources for which CMCS seeks Office of Management and Budget (OMB) clearance include: a postpartum telephone survey of Medicaid-enrolled pilot program participants and nonparticipants in the four pilot states, key informant interviews; and focus groups with Medicaid-enrolled pilot participants and nonparticipants.
