	Criminal Activity at Kaiser HMO (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Kaiser was voting for the accuracy of the physicians' payroll (which was scrutinized by data entry verification) and the inaccuracy in its computerized medical files (where data entry verification was suspended.) (2) Kaiser's Medical Records Management System was sabotaged by Kaiser's own programmers.
		At Kaiser's regional clinical labs center, results had to be copied to tape, and then the tapes were transported by truck from a Kaiser facility in Berkeley to the main data center in Walnut Creek, California.
		Kaiser's official position denies its many failures: "Protecting our members' privacy is a primary mission for every Kaiser Permanente employee and physician, and we will not let that privacy be compromised in any way." Unfortunately, respect for privacy in Kaiser's computer systems is only a poorly served aspiration rather than a successful policy.

	Corporate Ethics
		Kaiser's EMR is the pretext for crony capitalism: thanks to the validation of a few befuddled members of congress, Kaiser just has to invoke the EMR to ramp up their revenue streams.
		Kaiser is still failing to protect patient data up front (notices sent to 25,000 people) - they only react once the horse is already out of the barn, and then Kaiser hopes making a big show will make people think they are champions of privacy.
		Kaiser was bound to develop a reply, particularly one developed by their Brand Alert committee since such information leaks were counter to the image in the Thrive ad campaign costing them $40,000,000 a year just to keep enrollment flat.
