This is good as now innovation becomes a little more visible where all the laws are made. The center is fully wired and of course patients will have their own PHR just 
be using the facility as that’s the way Kaiser works with patients with both face to face and technology communications between doctors and patients. It’s a very good deal.
If you read here often enough I have some past interviews with Kaiser Permanente doctors and one in particular was done a while back with a pediatrician who 
practices in the Washington DC area with Kaiser.

Also what I found interesting was my interview with Chris McCarthy of their “Garfield” innovation center in Oakland. He clearly has a great job with not only creating solutions, but also being the open ear
to communicate with clinicians and other personnel at Kaiser to find solutions for those situations that arise with new technologies and procedures.

Most consumers I have spoken with in the last few years have been pretty well satisfied with Kaiser and having the new avenues of communication and the PHR is one area that seems to always be mentioned as it makes it easy to log on and get lab results too. BD
