The Kansas Health Institute (KHI) is a healthcare policy think tank, created to provide information on health and wellness issues to Kansas policymakers.〔(Kansas Health Institute ), ''LinkedIn.com'', retrieved 2015-08-03.〕 The KHI was founded in 1995 by the Kansas Health Foundation (KHF), a large, independent, non-profit foundation created to advance the health of Kansans. The foundation reportedly did so on the basis of its conclusion that Kansas health policy decisions often were based on fragmented, anecdotal, information — sometimes biased.〔 The KHI produces reference data and reports that are intended to advance the quality of the debate and decisions about health care policy in Kansas government. Examples of its reports are: * Notes and graphs about the levels of uninsured Kansans.〔"Kansas Health Institute: Working adults more likely to be uninsured than in 2001", 2013-04-17, ''Kansas City Business Journal,''〕〔Heck, Josh, (13.1 percent of Kansas population is uninsured ), Apr 17, 2013, ''Wichita Business Journal''〕 The KHF is ostensibly non-partisan, but often focuses negatively on Republicans and Libertarians (who overwhelmingly control Kansas government) for their policies on healthcare and related issues. The organization frequently calls attention to issues somewhat broadher than the narrow theme of health and wellness, such as Kansas government tax policies and Kansas utilities' solar energy policies.〔Marso, Andy, (Solar advocates wary of rate case ruling" ), April 6, 2015, ''KHI News Service'', Kansas Health Institute〕 ==KHI News Service== The nonprofit KHI News Service is an editorially independent initiative of the KHI, and a partner in the Heartland Health Monitor reporting collaboration. The KHI News Service allows "All stories and photos" to "be republished at no cost with proper attribution and a link back to KHI.org when a story is reposted online."〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kansas Health Institute」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
