National Performance/Outcome Measures and Blueprint Framework Crosswalk

The National Center for a System of Services for Children and Youth with Special Health Care Needs (CYSHCN) developed a new resource that explores the alignment between the Title V Block Grant National Outcome Measures (NOM) and National Performance Measures (NPM) with the CYSHCN Blueprint for Change Framework critical areas (equity, access, financing, quality of life). Title V programs can use this tool to help understand how current efforts align with the Blueprint framework and prioritize future efforts and optimize impact in serving CYSHCN. 

This crosswalk encompasses NOMs and NPMs relevant to all infants, children, and adolescents, reflecting the inclusive approach that prioritizes CYSHCN and their families. The criteria used for identifying intersecting NOMs/NPMs with Blueprint critical areas include evidence of association with Blueprint critical areas, as well as input from subject matter experts at the National Center for a System of Services for CYSHCN, including Family Voices, state Title V CYSHCN programs, HRSA/MCHB and experts at AMCHP. While the relationships outlined in this crosswalk are informed by these factors, we recognize that interpretations may vary among state Title V programs and their partners.
