Kaiser Permanente’s Sidney R. Garfield Health Care Innovation Center (San Leandro, Calif.). Named after Kaiser Permanente’s founding physician, the Garfield Center opened in June 2006 and has served as grounds for developing ideas and testing innovations. Successful initiatives coming from the Garfield Innovation Center include KP MedRite, a step-by-step workflow to avoid medication errors, and the Interactive Patient Care System, a screen-based hub in the patient’s room enabling communication with the care team and access to online resources. The center is intended for use by Kaiser Permanente employees, though it does offer limited availability for external visitors.
