Take a moment to stop and think about the vision of the Kentuckiana Health Collaborative (KHC). Our vision is a more equitable system for health where all people in Kentucky and southern Indiana have access to high quality and affordable healthcare. The KHC’s Board of Directors purposely used the words “system for health” in that statement.
The author Idowu Koyenikan says, “There is immense power when a group of people with similar interests get together to work toward the same goals.” The KHC brings together employers who purchase healthcare with stakeholders from the complex healthcare delivery system. Together, we try to understand each organization’s priorities and work collaboratively to determine how we can improve health outcomes for patients through high quality, affordable, and equitable healthcare.
Koyenikan’s statement could be said to describe the power of engaged membership with the KHC which includes these benefits:
- Participation in timely and compelling members-only learning sessions with other members, policy leaders, and healthcare thought leaders.
- Participation in strategy teams on healthcare measurement, health equity, measurement alignment, and more.
- Access to employer-only roundtables on key purchaser priority topics to address healthcare value, equity, and wellbeing.
- Attendance at KHC All-Member Meetings with employers/purchasers, health plans, healthcare providers, consumer advocates, pharmaceutical companies, healthcare point solutions, and government agencies.
- Access to benchmark data on healthcare quality measures for Kentucky and Kentuckiana.
- Access to valuable member resources on critical issues and best practices, including reports, toolkits, education, and more.
