Health Management System Collective Request for Information - December 2008
The Health Management System Collective: Request for Information was issued on 22nd of December 2008. The Cluster wrote to all members bringing their attention to this RFI and requesting their feedback. In particular we sought their views on the potential impact on their organisation, the NZ health IT sector, and the NZ health sector.
The Cluster has presented the consolidated industry view to the Ministry of Health and the collective DHBs. A copy of the document is available on our website, here.
Collaborate 2 Innovate - Registration of Interest Now Closed

New HINZ Study Award
Funding has been made available by HINZ to support postgraduate students in health informatics. "It's important that we encourage people who want to develop their health informatics capability, and helping them defray the costs of enrolling in health informatics courses is one of the best ways of doing this", says Prof Jim Warren, HINZ Chair. HINZ is doing just that with the new HINZ Study Award that covers up to the full enrolment fees of a course, a semester for a masters dissertation or a year of PhD study.
