Story
Inside Kaiser Permanente, care delivery used to depend on whoever still had the latest file. That pattern is common in health care groups working out of the United States. Clinicians and HIM needed a system that would still make sense after the original project team moved on.
Kaiser Permanente uses Cadence from Epic Systems as the working layer for clinical records. Epic Systems is the leading electronic health record vendor for hospitals and clinics, with MyChart for patient access. The practical change is simple: care delivery has a home, and reviews happen there instead of in a forwarded thread.
Nothing in this writeup invents a savings number. What Kaiser Permanente gets from Epic Systems is a durable place to run care delivery and a way for clinicians and HIM to see the same clinical records at the same time.
