According to Kaiser, the KP HealthConnect has improved
the quality of care and service to its members and communication
between members and Kaiser professionals to help
make getting well and staying healthy even more convenient.
It ensures patient safety and quality care by providing access
to comprehensive patient information and the latest best
practice research in one place. KP HealthConnect also coordinates
patient care between the physician’s office, the hospital,
radiology, the laboratory, and the pharmacy, which
helps to eliminate the pitfalls of incomplete, missing, or
unreadable charts. The fully implemented system has enabled
Kaiser to streamline and retire many outdated systems. KP
HealthConnect directly or indirectly supports the majority of
its hospital and health plan operations nationwide.
