This is our first CiLN newsletter, in which we will attempt to give a nice bite-sized digest of what is going on in New Zealand’s clinical informatics scene.
We will summarise the key discussions in Discourse, and let you know what the executive and the advisory panel are thinking. The intent is to make it easy for our time-pressured members to keep up with what is going on, and to make sure everyone remains in the loop.
There is a lively Discourse thread on digital responses to Covid-19 with members from both NZ and the UK contributing their thoughts, plans, work and innovations in this space. As we sit at the intersection of clinical and IT, we need to step up to respond to this rapidly developing situation.
Other key discussions in Discourse:
The whole purpose of CiLN is to connect us so we can collaborate effectively. CiLN belongs to us all, and we all share responsibility for its success or otherwise.
If we are to achieve the meaningful changes we all hope for, it will take input from us all. We have a small ‘exec’ of four and an advisory panel of around 15 (including the exec); however, we all share in the governance of CiLN.
To this end, the hitherto private discussions regarding governance of CiLN are now being made visible to all members.
Also, we are now housing our Terms of reference and Mission statement in a new category, Key documents. These are Wikis, and are open for all CiLN members to read, edit and comment on.
Lastly, we are finalising our position statement, which is a short document to tell everyone why they need clinical informaticians desperately.
In addition to our upcoming Networking event on 5 May just before Innovations in Digital Health, we are exploring holding local and regional gatherings of CiLN members.
