Collection details
The Health Reform Monitoring Survey, or HRMS, is a survey of the
nonelderly that began in 2013. It is designed to provide timely
information on implementation issues under the Affordable Care Act
(ACA) and changes in health insurance coverage and related health
outcomes. The HRMS relies on GfK’s KnowledgePanel® to assess ACA
implementation and identify trends in key outcomes related to the ACA.
The HRMS provides data on health insurance coverage, access to and use
of health care, health care affordability, and self-reported health
status. Beginning in the second quarter of 2013, each round of the
HRMS also contains topical questions focusing on timely ACA policy
issues. In the first quarter of 2015, the HRMS shifted from a
quarterly fielding schedule to a semiannual schedule.
