Kansas public health agencies have committed to a multi-year process aimed at modernizing the Kansas public health system. This effort focuses on the Kansas Foundational Public Health Services (FPHS) model, a minimum package of public health services that should be available to all Kansans.
This report documents the activities of a subcommittee of the Kansas Public Health Systems Group (PHSG)—a multi-sector coalition of Kansas state public health partners representing public health practice, academic institutions, government and charitable organizations. The subcommittee’s work was a four-part effort which included:
-
- A literature review of similar FPHS models from other states
- A stakeholder engagement and vetting process to develop the Kansas FPHS model
- A capacity assessment of Kansas local health departments
- A list of performance measures for the FPHS.
