Kaiser Permanente Nursing Research Program

The Kaiser Permanente Nursing Research Program enhances quality care by fostering research and evidence-based nursing practices.

Strategic topics addressed by the projects include women's health, patient safety, pain management, adolescent health, and patient satisfaction.

Nursing Research Program's Goals

• Provide the systematic study and evaluation of nursing practice and patient care.

• Develop evidence-based practice.

• Implement nursing research projects and disseminate findings back into nursing practice.

• Support nursing research partnerships with academic, public, and industry partners that enhance the innovative development and distribution of nursing knowledge for the benefit of the professional health care community.
