IT Posters

Posters showcase IT innovation

Each year, Kaiser Permanente Washington Health Research Institute (KPWHRI) holds an Information Technology (IT) poster session that showcases the work of our technology staff. Below is a sampling of the posters presented over the past few years. You will need Adobe Reader to view the posters.

In addition to the IT poster session, many IT and scientific staff present posters at the HMO Research Network (HMORN) annual conference.
