Southern California Nursing Research Standards for Local Kaiser Permanente Facilities

The following are the standards for Nursing Research at the local facility (usually medical center) level. Local facilities who can demonstrate that they have met and are continuing to meet the standards consistently, may apply to the Regional Nursing Research Program to be identified, for themselves and others that a Nursing Research Program exists at their facility.

The standards are organized as independent structures and processes that lead to outcomes and reflect the minimum commitment for a local KP facility to nursing research.

The operationalization of the standards is a local undertaking reflecting the local culture. For example, at some facilities the dedicated group may be a standalone nursing research committee, council, etc. At other facilities, the nursing research agenda may be integrated into an existing group such as a practice or quality committee.
