Innovation Learning Network

The Innovation Learning Network (ILN) brings together the most innovative healthcare organizations in the country to share the joys and pains of innovation. Its purpose is to foster discussion on the methods and application of innovation/diffusion, ignite the transfer of ideas, and provide opportunities for inter-organizational collaboration.

The ILN start-up funding was provided through a generous grant by VHA Health Foundation in 2006, and has since moved to a membership fee based organization.
