In the report for 2010, NMHCTOD added a review of newly established HEDIS measures of quality care for children to prevent or treat being overweight or obese. These measures constitute the Weight Assessment and Counseling for Nutrition and Physical Activity for Children/Adolescents established by the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) in 2010. The decision to include these additional HEDIS indicators reflects an increasing public health concern for children and for how overweight and obese children are at increased risk to become adults with chronic disease and disability, especially diabetes. There are three specific indicators of health care quality for children related to overweight and obesity, each reported for ages 3 to 11, 12 to 17, and in total, providing nine individual indicators. This report covers care provided to children for calendar years 2010 through 2012. , tracking progress in care provided in calendar years 2008 through 2012. Presented are rates and trends in diabetes care received by New Mexicans covered by leading commercial, Medicare Advantage or Medicaid (SALUD!) health plans.
