New York State 2019-2021 Kids Quality Agenda Performance Improvement Project (PIP)
Program Overview
The first years of a child’s life are a time of rapid development. It is important to identify conditions that could adversely affect development as early as possible. The New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) recognizes the importance of preventive care during this period in the Medicaid and Child Health Plus (CHP) pediatric populations. That recognition is the foundation for the Kids Quality Agenda Performance Improvement Project (PIP). This PIP incorporates three focus areas:
- Blood lead testing and follow-up
- Newborn hearing screening and follow-up
- Developmental screening
