Improving Health Outcomes for Children (IHOC)

Improving Health Outcomes for Children (IHOC) is a 5-year demonstration grant from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, and authorized by 401 (d) of the Children's Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2009 (CHIPRA).

IHOC works with doctors' offices, practices and other agencies who want to improve health care in Maine and Vermont to:

  • Collect and report on the use of evidenced-based child health quality measures
  • Expand the Health Information Technology to improve the flow of child health data
  • Promote a collaborative child health learning environment
