(October 2024) – Revised in October 2024 with the help of our partners at governWell, the Kansas Hospital Association is pleased to provide members with a resource specifically designed for hospital trustees/board members: Speaking Health Care: A Trustees Guide to Health Care Terms, Acronyms and Abbreviations. A lot has changed in health care since our last publication in 2020. This sixth edition will help trustees better understand health care's complex and confusing world. Speaking Health Care is also available in a customizable version to add specific hospital terms and abbreviations. Go to the KHA website or Kansas governWell to download the Word or Publisher version. We hope you find this resource useful.
