Kaiser Permanente - Hawaii

 

Quality of Care

We are driven by the needs of our members and our responsibility to the many communities we serve. As a nonprofit organization, our physicians and staff are focused on the delivery of high-quality health care and services, rather than short-term stockholder demands.

Progressive Work Environment

At Kaiser Permanente, our emphasis is on improving the quality of care we provide to our patients and creating a positive environment for our health care professionals. Our employees enjoy the advantages of a supportive work culture, substantial compensation and benefits, and excellent opportunities for professional growth.

Awards and Recognition

Kaiser Permanente is nationally recognized as an organization that delivers high quality health care and services. Recently, we were named one of the "World's Most Respected Companies" by The Financial Times and Pricewaterhouse Coopers (January 2003). Kaiser Permanente was ranked seventh in the health care category and we were the only health organization listed that provides direct patient care.

CCHRI - Best in California: For the seventh straight year, no other health plan has earned higher ratings from the California Cooperative Health Reporting Initiative on more measures than Kaiser Permanente. The annual ratings measure clinical quality and member satisfaction. (CCHRI Report on Quality 2003)
Kaiser Permanente has also received recognition from the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA), the nation's leading reviewer of health plan quality. Kaiser Permanente in several regions, including Hawaii and Northern and Southern California, Ohio and Colorado, earned the top rating of "Excellent," which means that we satisfied or surpassed NCQA's strict evaluation criteria in areas such as preventive care, member services, physician credentialing and improvements in care delivery.*

Both our Northern and Southern California regions were the only health plans in California identified by the NCQA in its list of the best health care programs in the Pacific states. In NCQA's The State of Health Care Quality 2003, our Northwest and Hawaii plans also rated in the top five on clinical measures of quality care.

Our Northern California region received more three-star "Excellent" ratings than any other health plan surveyed by California's Office of the Patient Advocate on California's Quality of Care Report Card 2003-04.

Additionally, Kaiser Permanente of Colorado is rated in the Top 10 in the nation among health care providers. (NCQA The State of Health Care Quality 2003)

Community

Have you ever wanted to live in paradise? Our Hawaii Region is comprised of the islands of Oahu, Maui, and Hawaii -- all famed for their unsurpassed beauty and multicultural heritage.
Established by Henry J. Kaiser in Honolulu in 1958, Kaiser Permanente Hawaii Region had an initial enrollment of 5,000 members, primarily from employer groups and unions. Today, we deliver quality care and service to approximately 222,000 members. The Region is based on a relationship between the Kaiser Permanente Health Plan and the Hawaii Permanente Medical Group of physicians and specialists, who share a vision of high quality care and services.
The Hawaii Region is comprised of a 278-bed medical center, and ten outpatient clinics on Oahu. There are four clinics on the island of Maui - the largest in Wailuku, with smaller clinics in Lahaina and Kihei, and our newest clinic in Maui Lani. The Big Island of Hawaii is home to three Kaiser Permanente clinics: Kona, Hilo, and Waimea.
The Hawaii Region is strongly influenced by the unique sense of community in the islands, where the aloha spirit prevails. Our physicians and staff work together in the pursuit of excellence, with the goal of continuing to improve the lives and health of our Island communities.
Kaiser Permanente Hawaii has received an "Excellent" overall rating by the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA), the nation's leading reviewer of health plan quality for consumers and employers. Excellent is the top rating granted by the NCQA which reviews satisfaction surveys, preventive measures, physician credentialing, member services and improvement initiatives.*
In NCQA's The State of Health Care Quality 2003, our Hawaii plan scored in top five on clinical measures of quality care.
In addition, the Joint Commission, the hospital industry's leading accreditation agency, accredits the Hawaii Region.
