April 15th 2003   3 The New Zealand Health IT Cluster is an industry grouping of New Zealand-based software and solution developers, consultants, health policy makers, health funders, infrastructure companies, healthcare providers and academic institutions. The purpose of the Bulletin is to summarise news and information which either involves, or is of interest to, the New Zealand Health IT Cluster. Clustering gives members the benefit of perceived international scale and support whilst allowing individual members to grow at rates that are appropriate to their respective stakeholders. Sharing Resources therefore is a major sacrifice and commitment, and in this except from the Business Plan being developed by Ernst and Young, our members have told us how they will share and participate in cluster activities.      Friday 11th April: Software of Excellence wins TradeNZ awards for exports.
