A White Paper on Leadership in Clinical Informatics is now available online. The paper was developed to acknowledge the important role of clinicians in leading digital transformation in health. HISAs Clinical Informatics Community of Practice (CoP) believes leadership in clinical informatics is imperative if we are to get the future of healthcare right in a world where digital is ubiquitous.
