Message from the CEO
Be #HIC #rockstars

Every year we wait in anticipation as the HIC call for papers closes ( March 29 this year !) and we are never disappointed.

The calibre of submissions is outstanding and it is the task of our army of reviewers to undertake the painstaking review process and select the best. Until now, this prestigious opportunity has mostly been dedicated to individual research, stories and case studies.

The Don Walker Award and the Branko Cesnik Award are presented to the best academic/scientific and industry presentations. So, it is with great pleasure I announce on behalf of the HISA Board we will be recognising the great work of organisations in a new category this year– the HISA Enterprise Achievement Award for Digital Health

If you are a hospital or healthcare organisation, implementation team, a collaborative group, government department or any other collaboration with an outstanding achievement we want you to tell us all about it. The award launches this week and you can follow the Awards and Scholarship page for updates.
