ROSEVILLE, Calif., October 23, 2014 – Care Innovations™, an Intel-GE company, today appointed Karissa Price-Rico, Ph.D., as executive director of the CI Validation Institute, which was launched in June and has already garnered national recognition as a much needed service and innovative contribution to the field.

It also provides certification for consultants and vendors to enable them to distinguish themselves as adhering to the highest standards for research as well.
“Karissa’s entrepreneurial background and passion for improving the quality of service in the healthcare space will help elevate the CI Validation Institute to be the organization of choice for population health companies to provide them with confidence in their results and to credibly market solutions and services,” said Sean Slovenski, chief executive officer at Care Innovations.
“We’re at an exciting point in time at the Institute and have some new and exciting things coming down the line with a highly esteemed advisory board to continue to grow the science and rigor we are becoming known for. I am honored to take on this new role and help lead the growth of the CI Validation Institute,” said Karissa Price-Rico, the newly appointed executive director at the CI Validation Institute.
Price-Rico was co-founder and CEO of The Trusted Hands Network, the first national, certified network of Home Care Agencies and service providers to help consumers age in place.
