AIRA: 2021 Core Set Review Public Comments

Hello,

The Medicaid and CHIP Child and Adult Core Set 2021 Annual Review Workgroup is seeking public comment on their draft report: Recommendations for Improving the Core Sets of Health Care Quality Measures for Medicaid and CHIP: Summary of a Multi-Stakeholder Review of the 2021 Child and Adult Core Sets.

The report includes a summary of the Workgroup’s recommendations to add the Prenatal Immunization Status (PRS) to the 2021 Core Set and to NOT remove the Flu Vaccinations for Adults (FVA-AD) measure. The Workgroup has not recommended the addition of the Adult Immunization Status (AIS) measure to the Core Set but summarizes conversation around future considerations for advancing this measure in the report. The report is available here.

AIRA has drafted the attached comments letter and seeks your feedback to respond as a community on these measures. Please review the timeline below, based on the upcoming deadline for submission of comments by August 10.

Questions? Please contact Liz Abbott. As always, thank you for your efforts to amplify the voice of immunizations as part of broader public health efforts!
