Kaiser Permanente has implemented the largest nongovernmental
electronic health record in the world, serving more than 8.6
million Kaiser Permanente members. Called KP HealthConnect, its
impact on patient care outcomes, efficiency, safety, and patient
engagement and satisfaction already is of intense interest
throughout the health care industry. In this volume, Louise L.
Liang, MD, who led the massive KP HealthConnect implementation,
collects lessons learned from the organization's successful
deployment strategy and highlights ways in which the new
technological tools are changing and improving - the health care
provided to patients and the operations and culture of the
organization.
