ADHA at HIC
Recently HISA was invited by the Australian Department of Health to take part in a closed consultation on an early draft of a new National Digital Health Strategy for Australia. Along with other agencies who were invited, HISA had less than two weeks to respond to the 54 page draft. With some late night work the HISA Board members' responses were collated into our 22 page submission and sent. We have since had very positive feedback from the Department.
HISA is pleased to announce the ADHA will be running a consultation workshop at HIC. Seating is limited, so register TODAY to take advantage of early bird prices and secure your spot at this exclusive opportunity.
