"There was no evidence," the report stated, "that operations and other components of the program were being reviewed and evaluated to ensure the delivery of quality care to patients."

At no point did Kaiser assess "its ability to continue to meet the needs of the increasing number of patients and those others already in the program, to prevent or minimize service interruptions and facilitate efficient delivery and continuity of care," the inspectors wrote.

They also noted that future unannounced field investigations would likely be utilized to make sure that Kaiser remained in compliance with federal regulations and guidelines.

According to media reports, Kaiser could face additional penalties as a result of a continuing state investigation of its patient grievance procedures and policies.
