Integrated health care and why it’s better 

In an integrated health system — a care-delivery method pioneered by Kaiser Permanente — your clinicians, care team members, and pharmacists share important information about your health through an electronic health record. They make decisions collaboratively, so your care is personalized to your needs. This also helps eliminate paperwork, repetitive tests and procedures, and potential medical errors. And since your health plan and providers are connected, you have access to most medical records, labs, and test results via kp.org or our mobile app.
