Hospitals across the Kansas City Region work daily to improve care and the health of the communities they serve. Data is key in identifying obstacles to health that can contribute to health disparities that can be found in every community. These can occur across diverse populations and geographies and their universal common denominator is most often nonmedical factors which can explain up to 80% of an individual’s health outcomes. The Kansas City Metropolitan Healthcare Council’s KC Community Health Tracker Dashboard includes powerful data from the Kansas and Missouri Hospital Associations on hospital experiences for residents of the 14-county bi-state service area. The dashboard is designed to empower efforts aimed at improving the health and well-being of communities served by KCMHC member hospitals. The dashboards below are based on patient encounters at Missouri and Kansas hospitals involving residents of the 14-county KCMHC serve area over the past three Federal Fiscal Years. This dataset represents more than 22 million hospital encounters across 2+ million unique patients. To ensure data reliability, results are displayed only when numerators meet minimum threshold requirements; as a result, certain measures or filter combinations may not appear when encounter volumes are too small.
