The prestigious CiLN award attracted 15 nominations this year and a judging panel has selected three finalists, it is now up to you to decide on the winner.

Judge and national chief clinical information officer Lara Hopley says the panel was again amazed by the exceptional group of candidates for the award.

“While some nominees showcased impressive first-time projects and localised innovations, others brought with them a remarkable pedigree, backed by years of experience driving digital health initiatives forward,” she says.

“These candidates have embraced the evolving landscape of healthcare with a wide-ranging portfolio of projects that speak to their enduring commitment to transformation.

“Being part of the judging process is always a privilege, as it not only allows us to witness such inspiring work but also highlights efforts that might have otherwise gone unnoticed.”

Hopley says it is now up to others to play their part and vote online.

“Please cast your vote for the candidate who resonates most with you and encourage your colleagues and friends to do the same. We cannot wait to see who wins.”

Accenture is sponsoring the award for the second year in a row and have generously provided $5000 to provide further education for the winner or to fund resources to further the initiative outlined in the submission.
