Clinovations Collaborative
Clinovations was started as a networking and learning collaborative (Clinovations Collaborative) in November 2007 in order to bring together healthcare executives for the purpose of discussing today’s most pressing healthcare issues. Our members are clinical and operational executives who are solving today’s healthcare problems and providing insight with their relevant, real world experience.

These leaders have worked for the last two decades around the world to help advance improvements in healthcare including patient safety and quality initiatives, hospital performance improvement, and electronic medical record implementation.

The primary goal of the Collaborative is to provide our members and the healthcare community, including patients and health providers, access to leading practice information.
