There are a number of divisions within Kaiser Permanente that have interesting information and resources made available online. Please visit the following web sites to learn more about the exciting work going on within Kaiser Permanente:

Health Policy

The Kaiser Permanente Institute for Health Policy seeks to further the understanding of key health policy issues, including delivery system organization, benefit design and “consumerism,” and clinical information systems.

Care Management

Kaiser Permanente's Care Management Institute (CMI) is a unique, pioneering institution with a mandate to drive, fund, and catalyze care management activities throughout our non-profit health plan. CMI strives "to make the right thing easier to do."

Research

We have established eight research centers across the country that conduct epidemiological studies and health services research. In addition, our physicians and researchers conduct clinical trials of new drugs, medical devices, and other therapies through several organized clinical trials centers and independently. Put together, Kaiser Permanente's research centers and scientists comprise one of the largest nonacademic research programs in the United States.

The Permanente Journal

The Permanente Journal is written and published by the clinicians of the Permanente Medical Groups and Kaiser Foundation Health Plan to promote the delivery of superior health care through the principles and benefits of Permanente Medicine.
