The Commission created the National and State Scorecards to assess national and state health system performance across multiple dimensions of health outcomes, quality, access, efficiency, and equity. The next editions of the scorecards will update and analyze time trends to assess the nation's progress in closing performance gaps and state variations in care. This authorization will enable the Commission's research director to produce updated analyses of national data sources, Fund-supported surveys, and quality initiatives in support of both scorecards. Findings of this work will assist the Commission as it monitors system performance over time and assesses the impact of existing and proposed policies.
