| The Center for Medicaid and CHIP Services Improving Asthma Control Affinity Group State Spotlights Webinar The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is pleased to invite all interested individuals from state Medicaid and CHIP agencies, health plans, and their quality improvement (QI) partners to join us as we feature state projects from our Improving Asthma Control affinity group. Please register at Mathematica WebEx - Register Meeting for the State Spotlights in Asthma Control webinar, Wednesday, February 22, 2023, from 2:00 pm ET to 3:00 pm ET. The CMS Medicaid and CHIP QI program provides state Medicaid and CHIP agencies, and their QI partners, with the information, tools, and expert support they need to improve care and outcomes for Medicaid and CHIP beneficiaries. Asthma is one of the most common chronic illnesses in the United States, affecting roughly 10 percent of children and adults who are enrolled in Medicaid or CHIP. There are many evidence-based strategies available to improve population-level asthma control, including clinical, environmental, and community-based interventions, and these strategies can improve health and well-being, and reduce health care expenditures associated with asthma. From June 2020 through June 2022, CMS supported eight states participating in the Improving Asthma Control affinity group. This webinar will feature state QI projects from the affinity group, highlighting state strategies, partnerships, and lessons learned. The recording of the webinar will be posted on the quality improvement initiatives page of Medicaid.gov. We hope you can join us! |
