About 80 leaders across Kansas committed to clinical practice transformation and performance-based care came together last week near Salina for a full day of sharing knowledge and lessons learned at the 2018 Kansas PTN Annual Learning Event.
Among the featured speakers were seven local practice leaders who shared inspiring success stories of changing patient lives using evidence-based approaches for helping patients reduce their blood pressure. Their efforts were supported in part by a partnership between Kansas Healthcare Collaborative and the Kansas Department of Health and Environment.
One of the seven practices is Community Health Center of Southeast Kansas. Mallory Roberson — Population Health Manager who oversees the project at CHCSEK — said the clinic made substantial strides in building relationships with most of the patients who agreed to participate in the program, in addition to seeing improvements in health outcomes.

The feedback goes both ways between the Patient and Family Advisory Committee (PFAC) and the Labette Health Physicians Group, according to Missy Beasley. Recently she was invited to present at the PFAC meetings at Labette Health in Parsons, Kansas.
