KCHAIN Mission
The mission of KCHAIN is to increase
access to primary and specialty care,
improve the quality of health care, and
integrate key health system functions in
order to leverage existing resources,
including private sector specialty care, to
produce cost savings that will be re-
invested into the health safety net system.
KCHAIN Program Goals
1. Increase access to primary care for our
target population through encouraging the
establishment of a “medical home”.
2. Increase access to Specialty Care by
developing a centralized Specialty Care
Referral Network.
3. Increase pharmaceutical access for KCHAIN
clients through a centralized Pharmaceutical
Access Program.
4. Create Management Information System (MIS)
which allows KCHAIN partners to compile and
share data
Increasing Access to Primary Care
KCHAIN leverages resources of the Federally
Qualified Health Centers (PHS 330s) and other
community-based health care clinics to provide
sustainable, high-quality, culturally competent,
primary care.
A Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) is a
non-profit provider of health care in a medically
underserved area.
Created by Congress and generally receive grant
funds to provide care for the uninsured.
Different from private practice by management
structure and the broader, community based services
they provide.

prefer
Work with the community via IPLAN to strategize for the
