Pros
At Kaiser evidence based medicine is performed. When treatment decisions are made it is done by doctors who are operating for the interests of the patient. When decisions are made regarding formulary and machinery to equip the department it is made by the physicians after a careful review of the pro's and cons of each decision. When operating decisions are made in this manner, the loyalty to the department, organization, professional and job satisfaction are tremendous. For a physician there are many motivations when choosing where to work. Kaiser allows the physician to work in an environment where we are paid adequately however, the professional job satisfaction and end resultallows us to perform our craft the way it should be done. As a physician I am happy to be a patient and member of this this organization because things are done the right way.
Cons
