Resources
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:
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.
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."
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 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.
