The Health Informatics Society of Australia (HISA) is pleased to invite you to respond to our Call for Submissions for HIC 2014, Australia’s Health Informatics Conference, to be held from 11-14 August 2014 at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre. With the primary theme of Investing in e-health: People, knowledge and technology for a healthy future the conference will focus on investing in e-health, improving the climate for investment and innovation in e-health, strategic opportunities and where to for Australia? HIC 2014 provides the ideal professional and social environment for clinicians, researchers, industry and consumers to integrate educate and share their knowledge to advance health information and systems locally, nationally and internationally for better health outcomes. If you are in the business of healthcare, then this invitation is to you. You cannot 'do' healthcare using any traditional models and thinking. Healthcare reform demands new thinking and new models that are centred on the individual and empowered by technology. HIC 2014 continues the scientific, social, clinical/industry integration that has become a core element of HIC conferences. HISA and ACHI encourage you to contribute and participate. You are the leaders of the future of healthcare delivery - have your say, don't keep it to yourself.
