Mission

Through Maximizing Enrollment, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the National Academy for State Health Policy are partnering to assist states to better understand the strategies that will help them to enroll and retain more eligible uninsured children and to measure their progress over time. The goals of the program are:

• to identify, enroll, and retain as many eligible children as possible in the eight grantee states;
• to establish a set of best practices to increase enrollment and retention of eligible children for public coverage programs in all states, by carefully measuring the results achieved in those eight states.

To achieve these goals, the program will include:

• a standardized diagnostic assessment of participating states' enrollment and retention systems, policies and procedures;
• individualized technical assistance to help states develop and implement plans to increase enrollment and retention of eligible children consistent with the findings of the assessment and to measure their progress; and
• participation in peer-to-peer learning to share information regarding challenges and effective strategies with other states.
