Health Informatics Workforce, Professionalism & Certification Workshop

15 July 2013 Adelaide Convention Centre 1.30pm - 5.00pm

"Health informatics is a megatrend driving investment, careers & delivering the future of healthcare"

At HIC 2012 in Sydney we ran a very successful workshop looking at the future role of the health informatics professional. The workshop was not only well-attended but so interactive that the information we gathered from attendees helped shape HISA's workforce and professionalization strategy.

This year you can expect more of the same fabulous discussion and content.

If you are an employer, a health informatics professional, an aspiring health informatics professional or you aren't even sure what health informatics is but you are intrigued - then please attend this informative and interactive session. Your contributions will help HISA refine its strategy to ensure we deliver solutions that can help solve the workforce issues you or your organisation face.

Discussion will include:

• Overview of the breadth of health informatics
• Workforce impacts and role of health informatics professionals - the need for health informatics professionals, as well as for all healthcare professionals to have some level of health informatics knowledge and skills
• The demand drivers for health informatics - Opportunities and future trends driving careers and investment
• How employers can attract people with the skills you need
• How to advance your career in this field
• Professional pathways - what's available / where are the gaps in skills and training programs
• Mentoring the future health informatics professional
• Meet and network with other HI experts and emerging professionals
• The Australian Health Informatics Competencies
• Overview of the Certified Health Informatician Australia (CHIA) program
