Prevention and Chronic Condition Management:

Well Visits for Children Ages 3 – 6

What are we measuring and why?

Well-child visits between the ages of three and six years are important to check developmental milestones, as well as growth and social skills.

This measure shows the percent of patients between the ages of 3 and 6 years who had at least one well-child visit during the past year.

How are we doing and how do we compare to best practice?

Our practices perform this measure at a rate of 93%, which is the same as the Massachusetts state average and exceeds the National 90th percentile.

What are we doing to improve?

Pediatric practices use their practice management systems and electronic health records to track well child care and to make sure that patients are scheduling and keeping appointments for well child visits.
