This document discusses using state surveys to evaluate health care reform. It describes the State Survey Reform Workgroup, which was formed to provide guidance on priority data needs for monitoring health reform progress. The workgroup identified key domains like access to coverage, affordability of care, and emergency department use. It has compiled survey items from various state and national surveys into a searchable database to help states monitor reform implementation and impacts. The document concludes that state-specific surveys can provide valuable policy-relevant data to assess coverage, affordability, and access changes under health reform.
