According to the Kaiser Family Foundation (2014), 502,866 (11.7 %) of Florida children under 19 years of age are uninsured, giving Florida the second largest number of uninsured children in the United States. Florida Covering Kids & Families (FL-CKF) is dedicated to developing innovative outreach methods for enrolling and retaining eligible children in Florida KidCare, the state's Children's Health Insurance Program. FL-CKF has developed a strong data system that allows it to evaluate the effectiveness and success of statewide enrollment and retention efforts.
The data system was created using the Checkbox survey systems. Community and school outreach partners enter data each month on all completed Florida KidCare applications via a secure interface. The system requires data be entered in a uniform format and forces vital data points to be completed. These data are then transmitted to the state to obtain timely application determination information on enrollments.
The data system helps FL-CKF to determine which outreach strategies are successful and where changes need to be made to increase effectiveness. The system also provides feedback to community outreach partners in order to enable follow up with families when needed.
Organizations helping uninsured children apply for health insurance may benefit from creating data collection systems to monitor project efficacy and modify outreach and enrollment strategies for greater effectiveness.
根据凯撒家庭基金会（2014年）的数据，佛罗里达州19岁以下儿童中有502,866人（占11.7%）未参保，这使得佛罗里达州成为美国未参保儿童数量第二多的州。佛罗里达儿童医保覆盖项目（FL-CKF）致力于开发创新的推广方法，以便让符合条件的儿童加入并留在佛罗里达儿童医保计划（该州的儿童健康保险计划）中。FL-CKF建立了一个强大的数据系统，使其能够评估全州范围内参保和续保工作的有效性和成效。
该数据系统是使用Checkbox调查系统创建的。社区和学校推广合作伙伴每月通过安全接口输入所有已完成的佛罗里达儿童医保申请的数据。该系统要求数据以统一格式输入，并强制填写关键数据点。然后这些数据被传输到该州，以获取有关参保情况的及时申请判定信息。
该数据系统帮助FL-CKF确定哪些推广策略是成功的，以及需要在哪些方面做出改变以提高有效性。该系统还向社区推广合作伙伴提供反馈，以便在需要时对家庭进行跟进。
帮助未参保儿童申请医疗保险的组织可能会从创建数据收集系统中受益，以监测项目成效，并修改推广和参保策略以提高有效性。
