Kaiser Permanente (KP) has a long-standing commitment to conduct research and report publicly. Simultaneously, it faces a different imperative: harnessing information systems to leverage internal improvements in outcomes, efficiency, and costs. Now that KP HealthConnect, the KP electronic health record, is fully implemented, research challenges at KP are moving away from issues of data access and toward the mechanisms through which raw data create meaningful clinical knowledge that is based on rigorous research. In this report we describe a model for research-the Northern California Division of Research Perinatal Research Unit-that leverages internal and external resources to fulfill these twin missions.
凯撒医疗集团（KP）长期致力于开展研究并进行公开报告。同时，它面临着另一项重要任务：利用信息系统来推动在医疗结果、效率和成本方面的内部改进。如今，KP的电子健康记录系统KP HealthConnect已全面实施，KP的研究挑战正从数据获取问题转向原始数据通过何种机制产生基于严谨研究的有意义临床知识的问题。在本报告中，我们描述了一种研究模式——北加利福尼亚研究部围产期研究单位——该模式利用内部和外部资源来完成这两项双重任务。
