Scorecard Explores Child Health Care By State

The Commonwealth Fund has launched state scorecards on children’s health system performance. Thirteen performance indicators of access, quality, costs, equity, and the potential to lead healthy lives were measured.

The Commonwealth Fund has illustrated an interactive United States map providing state-specific details for consumers.

The report found that states in the Northeast and upper Midwest generally ranked higher on health indicators such as access, quality, costs, equity and healthy outcomes
