Performance Goal Measurement Strategy Increase the number of children with a usual source of care DMAS enrollment data Increase the percentage of children with immunization Clinical focus study Increase the number of children receiving appropriate well-child care Clinical focus study

Comparing DMAS internal figures for April of 2003 with those for April of 2004 shows that enrollment in SCHIP in the last year rose from 50,336 to 54,581. Those same figures show that the number of SCHIP enrollees with a usual source of care rose from 44,121 to 48,471. This trend is expected to continue as enrollment grows.

DMAS anticipates receiving from the MCOs and other health insurers participating under FAMIS summary reports on usual source of care, immunizations, well-child care, and other measures reflective of access and quality.

Strategic Objective Three “To Conduct Effective Outreach to Encourage Enrollment in Health Insurance Plans” encompasses five Performance Goals. The first Goal is to “Develop and implement a comprehensive, statewide, community-based outreach plan”. This outreach plan was specified in the Virginia enabling legislation for FAMIS. The plan allows for a coherent and structured means to encourage enrollment in FAMIS. The Measurement Strategy is a published plan and administrative records from the outreach campaign. These records will indicate a broad range of involvement by members of the community and ensure a comprehensive, statewide plan. The remaining Performance Goals address obtaining the active participation of community-based organizations, other states agencies, the business community, and school districts. The Measurement Strategy for each of these is to utilize the administrative records from the outreach campaign. The records will document meetings, media contacts and events, publications, presentations, collaborations among organizations, and other activities to promote outreach.
