The Kaiser Permanente integrated system can make a real difference to our member and global medical research. The VIOXX story is a case where there was some reason to be concerned about a certain medication people were taking for pain. Aided by the Food and Drug Administration, we discovered there was an increased risk of heart attacks for people on this medication. Within 48 hours we had everybody off the drug. How did we do that? We have electronic health records. The idea of being able to act on information carefully, that's incredible.
