HISA in partnership with Accenture and other collaborators are commencing an Innovating Health Series commencing in Sydney next week. 

The series will incorporate a number of executive roundtable events over the year, across major capital cities targeting topical health industry challenges. We aim to further raise the profile of the digital health innovation agenda in healthcare by bringing together health leaders and industry experts to challenge thinking, harness collective ideas and stimulate change. Session outputs will be shared with participants and others along with series commentary and specific resources. We aim to create a new conversation that contributes to change.

The first roundtable event will explore the Culture of Innovation with our guide Simon Terry. You can subscribe for series updates or get further information from Greg Moran.

HISA supported and participated at last week's  Realise Health Innovation and Connect event in Canberra. Organised by the Hospital IP Group and   ACT Government the event brought together a wide range of people working across healthcare, research and innovation. Opened by the Hon. Minister Meegan Fitzharris, Assistant Minister for Health ACT Government, the event included three keynote presentations and a total of 47 pitches across key areas of hospital and system innovations, health and wellness and biotechnology.  

There were a number of HISA members in attendance including Ian Bull from ACT Health, George Margelis from Intel and Dr Martin Seneviratne delivering an innovation pitch for WardConnect! Realise is a program that seeks to promote and build upon a health innovation occurring within and across ACT and Canberra. HISA will continue to support this program as well as building our member services and associated events in ACT during the year.
