INTRODUCTION

The Children’s Hospital’s Graduate Medical Education Payment Program’s (CHGME PP) performance measures and activities build upon HRSA’s long-range goal to “Improve Access to Health Care” and Achieve Excellence in Management.  They are keyed to the following HRSA Objectives:

A. Expand the capacity of the health care safety net.

C. Preserve the financial integrity of HRSA’s programs and activities.

This program provides payments to freestanding children’s teaching hospitals to enhance their financial viability and to help them maintain graduate medical education (GME) training programs which expands the capacity of the health care safety net and improves access to health care.

Performance measure information is used by the program to assess the success of the CHGME PP in helping maintain graduate medical education programs and FTE resident counts in children’s hospitals nationwide.

DISCUSSION OF RESULTS AND TARGETS

Long-Term Objective:  Expand the capacity of the health care safety net.

7.I.A.1.  Maintain the number of FTE residents in training in eligible children’s teaching hospitals.

The program exceeded its target for this program measure, by 601 residents.   In FY 07, the target was 4,828 residents and the actual count was 5,051.  The target for FY 08 is 5,051 residents.  This measure does not have a FY 09 target because no budget is proposed.

7.VII.C.1.  Percent of hospitals with verified FTE residents counts and caps.

In FY 07 as in previous years, the program met the target of 100% of hospitals with verified FTE resident counts and caps.  The measure does not have a FY 09 target because no budget is proposed.

7.E.  Percent of payments made on time.

The efficiency measure for CHGME Payment Program is to make 100 percent of DME and IME Payments to children’s hospitals on time.  For FY 07, HRSA made 100 percent of all payments on time.
