The Cluster works directly with key government agencies and industry stakeholders such as the Ministry of Health, ACC, New Zealand Trade and Enterprise, Ministry of Research Science and Technology and the Tertiary Education sector. We also have relationships throughout the wider health sector, and export networks.

New Zealand Ministry of Health

By working closely with the Ministry of Health, the Cluster is able to promote understanding of the NZ Health Information Strategy, engage in local e-health initiatives, provide input into special committees, and to take advantage of future strategy and policy developments. The Ministry of Health is a member of the Cluster’s Executive Management Board, and is a primary mechanism used by the Ministry to communicate to IT vendors on strategic issues. As part of this strategy, the Cluster hosts a NZ health IT engagement forum, where Ministry speakers present on strategic priorities and outline their programme of work.

New Zealand Trade and Enterprise

New Zealand Trade and Enterprise (NZTE) is the New Zealand Government’s primary agency for stimulating economic and export related growth. The NZ Health IT Cluster engages directly with NZTE who has a representative on the Cluster’s Executive Management Board.

In conjunction with NZTE we focus on opportunities for New Zealand health technology companies in offshore markets of interest. The Cluster runs international market forums that provide market intelligence and in market experience to interested organisations, and provides support for international business missions.

Tertiary Education Sector

By working closely with tertiary education providers, the Cluster can link the development of health strategy and policy with research. Also by providing feedback and representing the sector as future employers, we ensure that the training of graduates meets the continuing growth and demand for jobs in Health Informatics.

QUOTE OF THE DAY

 It never ceases to amaze me just how may world leading innovations come out a a country as small as New Zealand. We often don’t realize that our innovations stack up just as well if not better than other countries on the world stage.

Dr Mark Billinghurst, Director, HIT Lab NZ, 2002
