The purpose of the ILN is to foster discussion on the methods and application of innovation/diffusion, ignite the transfer of ideas, and provide opportunities for inter-organizational collaboration. Chris is also an innovation specialist with KP's Innovation Consultancy. Chris has been with Kaiser Permanente since 1997, in various roles from implementing population care tools and electronic health records to redesigning the perinatal and shift change experiences.
