Family Voices of Minnesota is a partner in the Center of Excellence for Quality Care Measures for Children with Complex Needs funded by the Agency for Health Research and Quality.

This innovative Center of Excellence brings together a myriad of diverse and expert individuals and organizations that have the capacity to create and test quality measures that address deficits in the present system of measurement.  

Most importantly, the Center brings together key groups and for the first time, the families of children and youth with complex needs who are the daily caregivers and feel the largest impact from selected measures for improvement in care.  

This Center of Excellence will enhance the current set of CHIPRA measurements by focusing on quality measures that reflect practices at integrated health care settings, including medical home and the numerous community services so essential in the care of children and youth with complex needs.
