Medical Center Tips

As the healthcare partner for your business, Kaiser Permanente does more than just provide care for your employees, we continually look for ways to improve their health.  Here's an example: our outstanding hypertension care. Did you know that hypertension is one of the ten most expensive health conditions for US employers? Related complications are a major cause of preventable absenteeism, reduced productivity, and disability.  That's why we take a proactive approach when it comes to treating and controlling hypertension, including the use of a condition-specific registry and wide spread sharing of outcomes among our physicians.  That way, our care teams can check members' medical records for any gaps in care, such as overdue preventive screenings. Thanks to this approach, we're leading the nation in keeping members'blood pressure under control - forty percent better than the national average rate.  In one region alone, we nearly doubled the percentage of our members with healthy blood pressure levels over a ten-year period - from less than 44% to 87%. At Kaiser Permanente, we're constantly investing in health, so that everyone comes out ahead. Choose better.  Choose Kaiser Permanente.
