Kaiser calls resolution inaccurate and says company has hired 250 therapists
A majority of San Diego County supervisors supported a resolution Wednesday that decries reduced 'patient management time' for mental health care providers who work for Kaiser Permanente in Southern California, despite insistence from managers of the health care giant that San Diego County is not affected.
But Kaiser executive Dawn Gillam called the resolution inaccurate, saying that patient management time was standardized across Southern California in 2023. 'The standardization resulted in no change to the that was already in practice in San Diego,' Gillam said. 'We have struck a good balance between direct patient care and that supports our therapists and advances our shared goal of providing high quality accessible services to all of our members.
