Putting Research into Practice
Research that goes unpublished is research that can't benefit others. In 2006, Kaiser Permanente published more than 685 articles and scientific papers—400 of them in peer-reviewed journals. In addition to sharing our research through publications, we conduct policy roundtables, community meetings, and educational outreach programs. As a result of our research we are able to implement patient safety initiatives, provide better training for health care practitioners, and transfer advances in basic science from lab bench to patient bedside.
