The KHC Clinic Assistance Program (CAP), provided by generous support from the KAMMCO Foundation, offers free technical assistance to small and rural healthcare practices across Kansas.

Through this program, KHC Quality Improvement Advisors (QIAs) provide personalized support, either virtually or on-site, to small and rural clinics that need assistance. KHC staff work closely with clinic teams, evaluating and addressing specific needs for education, training, and resources. This tailored approach ensures clinics can maintain efficient operations while meeting state and federal compliance requirements.

Expanded Assistance Services

The KHC CAP program has expanded its technical assistance services to include RHC Mock Inspection and Survey Preparation tools and resources. KHC’s team provides customized assistance to RHCs to assess their compliance with RHC conditions for certifications. KHC staff provide the tools and resources to support clinics in addressing areas where improvement may be recommended.
