Children's Hospitals Graduate Medical Education Payment Program

The Children's Hospitals Graduate Medical Education Payment Program provides payments to free-standing children's hospitals. This program does not exclusively support teaching activities and the supported recipient hospitals can use program funds for any purpose.

Rating

What This Rating Means

PERFORMING
Adequate

This rating describes a program that needs to set more ambitious goals, achieve better results, improve accountability or strengthen its management practices.
  • The program makes timely payments to eligible hospitals, but is fundamentally duplicative of other Federal, state, and private efforts. Children's hospitals receive payments from Medicaid, private insurers, and charitable donations.
  • The program does not address a specific need. Children's hospitals are more likely to have positive profit margins than other hospitals. In 2000, 74% of children's hospitals had positive margins, compared to 67% of all hospitals, and 59% of major teaching hospitals.
  • The program is achieving its long-term performance goals. The program's long-term performance goal is 100 percent of hospitals with verified count of the number of medical residents. In 2003, 2004, and 2005, the program achieved this goal.
