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 state’s 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.
