ACTION: Notice of request for measures
and domains.
AGENCY:
Section 401(a) of the
Children’s Health Insurance Program
Reauthorization Act of 2009 (CHIPRA),
Public Law 111–3, amended the Social
Security Act (the Act) to enact section
1139A (42 U.S.C. 1320b–9a). Section
1139A(b) charged the Department of
Health and Human Services with
improving pediatric health care quality
measures. The Agency for Healthcare
Research and Quality (AHRQ) is
soliciting the submission of instruments
or domains (for example, key concepts)
measuring aspects of families’
experience with the quality of inpatient
medical and surgical hospital care from
all researchers, vendors, hospitals,
stakeholders, and other interested
parties. The survey development team
of Children’s Hospital Boston Center of
Excellence for Pediatric Quality
Measurement (CEPQM), is one of the
CHIPRA Pediatric Quality Measures
Program (PQMP) Centers of Excellence,
which were created pursuant to an
interagency agreement between the
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid
Services (CMS) and AHRQ, and are
funded through cooperative agreement
awards with AHRQ. AHRQ is interested
in instruments and items through which
families of pediatric patients assess the
care their child receives during the
child’s inpatient stay. The goal is to
develop a standardized instrument for
use in the public reporting of family
experience of pediatric inpatient care.
The CEPQM team is collaborating with
the CAHPS 3 Consortium to develop
this instrument. The survey will be
developed in accordance with CAHPS
Survey Design Principles and will
develop implementation instructions
based on those for CAHPS instruments
(https://www.cahps.AHRQ.gov/AboutCAHPS/principles.aspx.) All CAHPS
surveys are available to users free of
charge and are published on the AHRQ
Web site. This notice is republished

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section
401(a) of the Children’s Health

of 2009 (CHIPRA), public Law 111–3,
amended the Social Security Act (the
Act) to enact section 1139A (42 U.S.C.
1320b–9a). Since the law was passed,
the Agency for Healthcare Research and
Quality (AHRQ) and the Centers for
Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)
have been working together to
implement selected provisions of the
legislation related to children’s health
care quality. Section 1139A(b) of the Act
charged the Department of Health and
Human Services with improving
pediatric health care quality measures.
To implement the law, AHRQ and CMS
have established the CHIPRA Pediatric
Quality Measures Program (PQMP),
which is designed to enhance select
pediatric quality measures and develop
new measures as needed.

Quality Measurement (CEPQM) is one of
seven CHIPRA PQMP Centers of
Excellence, which were created
pursuant to an interagency agreement
between CMS and AHRQ and funded
through cooperative agreement awards
with AHRQ. CEPQM has been assigned
to develop a family experience of
pediatric inpatient care measure to be
considered as a standardized instrument
for publicly reporting pediatric
inpatient hospital family experiences
voluntarily by State Medicaid and CHIP
programs and to be used by providers,
consumers, other public and private
purchasers, and others. The CEPQM
team is collaborating with the CAHPS 3
Consortium to develop this instrument.
Existing instruments or domains
submitted should capture the family’s
experience of hospital or related care
(for example, preparation for discharge
or care coordination). The survey
development team is looking for items
for which families of pediatric
inpatients are generally the best or only
judge; for example, the family can best
say if the provider spent sufficient time
with them or explained things in ways
they could understand. Existing
instruments that have been tested
should have a high degree of reliability
and validity; and evidence of wide use
will be helpful.
