K. Shea, K. Davis, and E. Schor, U.S. Variations in Child Health System Performance: A State Scorecard, The Commonwealth Fund, May 2008

Summary:
This report examines child health care systems in US states, building upon the State Scorecard published by the Commonwealth Fund Commission on a High Performance Health System. It focusses on 13 states and looks at indicators including access, cost, quality, equity and the potential to lead healthy lives. The authors find wide variation among states, including  distinct regional patterns. Across states, better access to health care is closely associated with better quality of care.
