Preventive Services Quality Improvement Measures
CHADIS delivers all the questionnaires recommended by Bright Futures guidelines or comparables. Dr. Joseph Hagan, the editor of Bright Futures, concluded his review of CHADIS saying that “CHADIS finally makes Bright Futures possible.” Adhering to "Bright Futures Guidelines" is required by the Affordable Care Act.
CHADIS offers hundreds of screening, diagnostic and data collection tools and questionnaires including tools in every category advised by Bright Futures (below) and associated clinical decision support. CHADIS has been updated to completely cover the latest (4th) version of Bright Futures topics.
Pediatricians can meet MOC-4 requirements while following Bright Futures guidelines for care through CHADIS. The AAP Bright Futures age-related forms for parent or youth completion with concerning responses highlighted for easy review will be available soon.
