We achieve this through evidence-based care, a commitment to equity, simplicity, and aligned incentives across the system.
For us value-based care has always been about the focus on health.
It is about delivering the right care at the right time. It means considering total health, including mental health and a focus on disease prevention. It means looking outside the walls of the hospital, addressing community health factors, chronic disease, nutrition, education, and social health to keep people healthy in the first place.
Kaiser Permanente’s model combines health care and coverage into one coordinated experience. Our doctors, specialists, care teams, and health plan work together as an integrated health care system with a shared commitment to keeping our members healthy and restoring them to health after injury or illness.

This series is intended to help health policy and other audiences understand how the elements of Kaiser Permanente's integrated care model combine to support better health and health care.
