Message from the CEO
I’m pleased to announce HISA has won the bid to host the 15th international congress on Nursing Informatics - NI 2020. We will bring to Australia world leaders in nursing and midwifery, making this a rare opportunity for our community to learn from and network with nurses and midwives at a global level in digital health. NI 2020 will be co-located with HIC 2020, our annual conference, when it is held in Brisbane from Sunday 26 July to Wednesday 29 July 2020. This, together with HISA’s winning bid for MedInfo 2021, adds substantially to our capacity to showcase Australia’s digital health community to the world. A special shout out to the members of Nursing Informatics Australia (NIA), the HISA special interest group who helped enormously in making this bid successful. Exciting times ahead!

Why you need to be part of HIC 2018

By the Chair of HIC 2018 Dr Robin Mann

Patient care is advancing incredibly quickly with better engagement, better outcomes and new more integrated models of care; increasingly driven by the availability of new technologies, increasing availability of data and advances in ways of using it. The pace of change through this ‘fourth industrial revolution’ is so great that to stay informed you can no longer rely on reading journals or trying to filter through innumerable social media posts. You need to attend at least one major conference a year and here is why I think HIC is the one to attend.
