Shared Services Administrative Support
KVC Health Systems is known for its high-quality child and family services such as in-home family strengthening support and therapy, foster care, adoption, mental and behavioral health services, and children’s psychiatric treatment. These services are provided in different combinations across 35 locations in Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Kentucky and West Virginia.
What helps these teams operate so effectively is the KVC Shared Services administrative teams supporting them. By centralizing critical functions like Accounting, Human Resources and Marketing, KVC’s local teams can focus on their core competencies such as social work, therapy and nursing. The Shared Services model also ensures consistency and reduces costs by enabling smaller business units to access high-quality experts and resources that might otherwise be out of their reach.
Get to Know KVC’s Shared Services Teams:
Accounting
The Accounting department is organized into five subteams: Finance Leadership, Payroll, Accounts Payable, General Ledger, and Revenue Cycle Management. Payroll ensures our team members are paid accurately and on time. Accounts Payable ensures that approved invoices are paid accurately and on time. General Ledger submits invoices, collects payments for grants/programs, and produces monthly financial statements. Revenue Cycle Management submits medical claims and collects payments for mental and behavioral health services.
Business Information Technology
The Business Information Technology (BIT) group is organized into four subteams: Information Technology (IT), Enterprise Systems Technology (ESM), Information Solutions (IS), and the Project Management Office (PMO). IT is responsible for ensuring the operational effectiveness of computers, phones, servers and other network elements. ESM manages our integration with third-party applications like our electronic health record. IS is responsible for creating and maintaining KVC’s digital applications such as CARE and CMS. The PMO oversees large agency-wide projects such as bringing on new business, erecting new buildings, and selecting and deploying new technology.
Employee Engagement
Employee Engagement is an agency-wide effort led by trained Engagement Champions embedded in each local KVC team. This group conducts an employee engagement survey twice a year, generating a culture shift to create an engaging workplace. The team builds a culture of accountability through data analysis and trends, pulse surveys, action planning, coaching, best practice sharing, manager development, Boss to Coach monthly manager trainings, facilitated discussions on building a culture of wellbeing, and strengths training and coaching.

They use human capital data and lean six sigma methodology to develop human-centered solutions for individual, team and organizational impact.
