#kpcth Q&A session

100k join KP.org each month
50% usage Of KP.org
Leads to a reduction in office visits
But with more interactions with your care team.

KP is looking at mobility. Eg. How to know what cell phones members have. The center is part of a push to achieve better east coast visibility. KP is proud of achieving 30% lower Deaths from heart disease.

10m emails per year. If that was nationwide that equates to $70b of productivity savings.

Accessibility - while at work is part of the integrated secret sauce.

The center for total health is attached to 200sq.ft of advanced medical hub. Lab, radiology everything except an in-patient space all in one place. Treatment sooner is one of the best ways to reduce cost in healthcare. Planning 5 similar hubs in mid-Atlantic area. There are multiple hub types. Eg. Storefront hubs.

How can this expand to other large communities. Te lessons of CA have been applied to mid Atlantic in 2 years. KP believes it can take lessons from mid Atlantic to other communities in a year.

Integration brings synergies. Connectivity enables synergies remotely.

35 of 37 KP hospitals are HIMSS level 7 qualified - ie they are paperless. MRI's and everything else is stored electronically and available 24x7.

The average KP member stays for 17 years. That is greater than most other health plans.

What events would be great to have at the center?

HealthCamp foundation is working with Kaiser Permanente to put on healthca.mp/dc on June 8th. We all have to work together to reinvent healthcare. The Kaiser Permanente Center for Total Health is a venue for those conversations.

#kpcth I am here for a busy day of learning, planning and connecting for HealthCamp at the Kaiser Permanente Center For Total Health

Today I am in Washington DC as a guest of Kaiser Permanente. The event is the grand opening of the Center for Total Health at 700 2nd St, NW. 

The center has been designed as a place for health conversations. It will be a perfect location for HealthCa.mp/dc on 6.8.11. With high speed wireless access, telepresence and plenty of places to meet and talk this is a great venue for conversations and connections to further healthier living. Check out the web site at: http://www.centerfortotalhealth.org/.
Kaiser Permanente has, and is, a great sponsor of HealthCamp. Why? Because our objectives are aligned. There is a deep passion to help people achieve healthier and more rewarding lives. HealthCamp wants get patients and consumers the tools to help them manage their own health. That is not just a question of tools and technology but also education and awareness about food, nutrition and exercise. Real Health Care reform demands that we equip ourselves with the knowledge to eat healthier and understand our bodies and the tools to measure our health. The days of being measured once a year by the doctor have to be over. Health is a partnership - a team sport - a social activity.
Today should be a fascinating experience. So watch out for a stream of tweets and blog posts.
I am going to capture the tweet stream (the hashtag is #kpcth) using CoverItLive.
