Inexcusable delay in Kansas health home program
Editorial criticizes KDHE for delaying the health home Medicaid service less than 24 hours before launch. Agencies like Heartland Community Health Center in Lawrence had hired staff and prepared to serve mentally ill and chronically ill Kansans. The delay, to Jan 1 2015, stemmed from contractor readiness and provider choice issues, disrupting plans and prompting calls for better communication and faster implementation.
