Imagine health care with no hassle, no stress, and no overload of paperwork. Health care that doesn’t require hundreds of calls, redundant appointments, and a long, tedious referral process. Health care that’s easy, effective, and hassle-free.

Here’s the good news: This seamless health care experience already exists at Kaiser Permanente, the region’s leading health system. (1)

A revolution in health care

Kaiser Permanente’s system of integrated care provides a smarter, hassle-free, patient-first experience. Our plan coverage, care delivery, facilities, doctors, and specialists all work together and with you to support your health—often in the same building. This team approach provides a number of advantages to make health care work better for you, so you can stay happy and healthy.

Top-rated (2) coordinated care for patients

One of the major advantages of an integrated health system like Kaiser Permanente’s is that our network of doctors, pharmacists, therapists, and other caregivers all work together under a single umbrella. That makes coordinating care easy, and that’s how providers approach each patient. For example, your cardiologist isn’t focused only on an isolated issue with your heart; she’ll also coordinate with your internist or endocrinologist, as well as the pharmacy and lab, so that all your care is connected. This two-way flow of information means your treatment plan is based on your overall health and the full picture of you as a patient and a person. (2)

In other words, no longer are you an isolated “case” jumping from place to place and provider to provider—just another name in an appointment slot. Rather, everyone you encounter is focused on the bigger picture of your health, and your unique needs. So, along with doctors and other providers coordinating with each other, they’re also better able to communicate with you. As part of an integrated system, you’re able to stay more informed about your health and treatment options without getting bogged down by paperwork, calls, and logistics.

Care made easy and efficient

Another main draw for patients is how simple and streamlined health care is under an integrated system. Providers talk with you to find the right specialist and even make your appointments. They’re also able to send orders directly to labs and imaging centers, so all you have to do is show up. You’ll know where to go because all of these services are often in the same building.

All of your medical files are housed in one secure, central, digital location. That means providers and pharmacists can access all relevant information when and where they need it. Importantly, you have access to your medical information via an app that connects you to your care history, physician instructions, and more. The integrated approach eliminates hassle with insurance companies—because plan coverage is part of the system too. You won’t need to track claims or paperwork from doctors to outside insurers and back again. It all makes care more efficient, not only in terms of time and hassle, but also cost.

It’s often been said that traditional health care is broken. The integrated care model is the fix that puts patients first. It removes the bureaucratic speed bumps and inefficiencies as well as the unnecessary burdens on you and replaces them with what should have been there all along—convenient, personalized quality care.
