In late 2021, Community Health Centers of Southeast Kansas (CHCSEK), headquartered in Pittsburg, was awarded grant funding through the KDHE Community Health Worker Teams Program. The Kansas Healthcare Collaborative provides technical assistance for that program in conjunction with KDHE. As part of the grant, CHCSEK implemented the Healthy Heart Ambassador (HHA) program, which is a CDC recognized lifestyle change program and Self Measured Blood Pressure Monitoring (SMBP) program for patients with hypertension. CHCSEK started their HHA program in February of 2022, not realizing that one year later, the HHA program would not only change the lives of their patients, but also the lives of their staff.

It's the time of year to update the Quality Improvement Work Plans (QWIPs) in the IHC Compass Portal. Each hospital needs to select a minimum of two priority areas for quality improvement. Workplans are due no later than March 15^th. Please check your inbox or spam folder for a link to set up your IHC Compass Portal account, if you haven’t done so yet. We reviewed the process for completing the workplan during the January KHC Office Hours for HQIC Hospitals. The recording and handouts are available in our Education Archive or you can reach out to your QIA if you need additional support.
