I am a physician for Kaiser Permanente who has been making home visits for our PC program since 2005. Our program is run as a home health benefit, and was developed in the late 90's at one of our So CA medical centers. The entire toolkit for putting together the program, including info on visit content, QI, etc., is available for download on the web at http://www.growthhouse.org/palliative/
In our case (a smaller area), we do not have "internal" Kaiser home health so we contract with a local home health agency and work closely with them, paying a per-visit rate. I'm happy to answer any questions I can.
