2024 community report I 15 At KHS, improving health outcomes isn’t just a goal—it’s a shared responsibility with our providers, community partners and members. MCAS, California’s version of HEDIS, helps us monitor member access, service utilization, and overall community health across domains like chronic disease, behavioral health, cancer prevention, reproductive care, and children’s health. For measurement year 2024, KHS improved performance in 14 of 18 measures, achieved the Minimum Performance Level (MPL) in 10, and came within 5 percent of MPL for five more. The most significant gains were seen in the children’s domain, where all eight measures improved over the prior two years—a strong indication that our coordinated quality efforts are making a difference. Mobile Unit Initiative One of the most impactful drivers behind our recent quality gains has been the KHS Mobile Unit Initiative. In late 2023, we funded five mobile providers through a Quality Outcomes Driving Community Impact This initiative was built around a simple mission: take the care to where our members are. Guided by geo-mapping data and health disparities, the mobile units focus on children’s care, behavioral health and reproductive health. Services include immunizations, well-child visits, lead screenings, pap smears, mammograms and other preventive care—ensuring no one is turned away. With nearly 200 mobile events in 2024, the units have reached neighborhoods across more than 8,000 square miles—from the canyon to the desert and the heart of rural farming communities. Partnerships with over 15 school districts have expanded our reach even further, helping foster trust, increase member engagement and improve clinical outcomes right where they’re needed most.
