Message from the CEO Energising the branches : Welcome to the many HISA members who took on leadership roles in our branches at the recent AGMs : NSW , VIC , QLD , WA and SA . You provide HISA with a solid foundation for all of our work which is aimed at giving Australians better health wherever they are and enabling a workforce equipped to deliver healthcare in the digital age. Branch activities give HISA a face in the local community so members can connect, network and share information in the cities and regions they live and work. The committees have a hugely important job tapping in to their local healthcare community and developing networks. You are our frontline: Thank you for being HISA leaders! We look forward to working with you in the future and I hope to see as many of you as possible at HIC 2019 which is only weeks away. New organisation update:  The HISA Board met with the ACHI Council in Melbourne last week to discuss next steps around the proposal to form a new organisation for digital health and health informatics. Members will receive an email update as soon as some key timeframes have been agreed.

Dr Louise Schaper PhD, CHIA, FACHI

Congratulations to the new CHIAs at Queensland Health! Queensland Health continues to recognise the knowledge and skills of staff members by supporting health professionals through the CHIA certification program. This is the third group of graduates from Queensland Health to receive the CHIA certification. The group met in Brisbane recently to celebrate their achievement. Congratulations everyone! Queensland Health have sponsored 350 employees to date to undertake the CHIA program with 100 employees currently going through the program. CHIA offers a great way for individuals to demonstrate their broad expertise in health informatics principles, concepts, methods and skills and for organisations to invest in their employee's growth and development. CHIA programs can be tailored to suit your organisation’s unique needs. To get involved, email us for a discussion around how you can get started on the program.
