Over the last few decades, significant growth has occurred in the measurement and reporting of health care quality outcomes. As health care evolves, it is important to continue to monitor and report on the quality of care delivered to patients in California and across the U.S. This is part of a series of measures California Health Care Foundation is publishing on the quality of care in our state. Topics range from maternal to end-of-life care and include measures on behavioral health, chronic conditions, and providers. This set of quality measures focuses on children’s health and reports the most recently available data.

The report uses 2021–2022 California Health Interview Survey (CHIS) data.
