The layoffs are the result of continued operations and services evaluations and will primarily affect information technology and finance positions within the health system. No direct patient medical care positions were affected, a spokesperson for Kaiser said in a Sept. 27 statement shared with Becker’s.
“We are committed to helping them transition into other roles within Kaiser Permanente or where necessary will provide generous severance packages, career support, and outplacement services,” the spokesperson said.
Patient care will not be disrupted and no union-represented employees were affected by the layoffs, the spokesperson said.
At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
