Description
As mandated by state and federal guidelines, a yearly evaluation of the Florida KidCare program is required. This evaluation is completed through an annual report that includes analyses of application, enrollment and renewal data, parent-reported experiences with care, and rates for common child health indicators. Guidelines established in 1998 by Florida Statute 409.8177 also mandate that the evaluation include demographics of the children and families assisted by the program, a review of progress the Florida KidCare program made toward reducing the gap of uninsured children, and assessments of trends or changes at the state level affecting the provision of health insurance. The report is submitted to the Governor, the President of the Senate, and the Speaker of the House of Representatives.
