The 2012 HINZ Seminar Series continues with breakfast with Dr Michael Stearns. Join us...
In Search of meaningful use
A new way of stimulating systemic Health IT change is currently taking hold with some spectacular results.
Until recently the US, like most other countries, approached the implementation of health IT by commissioning and funding projects, then looking for ways in which successful projects could be scaled
up and replicated across the country. At the 2011 Conference we heard from Dr David Blumenthal, Architect of ‘Meaningful Use’,
and the new way in which health sector automation is being approached.
This HINZ breakfast is your opportunity to learn more about Meaningful Use and why this approach is succeeding where other approaches have failed.

The New Zealand Telehealth Forum and HINZ are pleased to announce 2012 HINZ Seminar Series...
Telehealth - A Call to arms
Why is there so much growth in the use of telehealth throughout the world? What is happening here in New Zealand? How can sustainable telehealth services deliver better, sooner, more convenient health care for New Zealanders?
This symposium will cover progress and opportunities in telemonitoring and home monitoring services, especially for those with long term conditions, and how New Zealanders are benefiting from videoconferencing services in the North and South Islands. We’ll cover the latest developments in Australia and opportunities for Australasian collaboration. We’ll hear from the Forum’s sponsor, the National Health IT Board, on the fit with shared care strategies and maximising the benefits of the government’s broadband programme to support rural populations and clinical networks.
This symposium has been endorsed by The Royal New Zealand College of General Practitioners
(RNZCGP) and has been approved for up to 6 hours CME for General Practice Educational Programme Stage 2 (GPEP2) and Maintenance of Professional Standards (MOPS) purposes.

'Caring and Sharing' - The Quest to Develop a Strategy for Sharing Electronic Patient Records

Where: Clinical Educational Centre, Auckland City Hospital
For the past year, Health Informatics New Zealand (HINZ) has been endeavouring to stimulate debate re the development of a national electronic health records strategy. Development of a viable information sharing strategy is becoming more and more important to the New Zealand health sector. On one hand the pressure on the system to develop safe, reliable and easy to use mechanisms for sharing patient information is mounting. On the other hand we are becoming more and more aware of the complexities and challenges of doing so.
