		Stuart Bloomfield CIO Waitematā DHB & Counties Manukau Health My career as a health IT leader started with programming, then a range of management roles including Mental Health IT, through to CIO of both Waitematā and Counties Manukau DHBs. I find working in health challenging and invigorating, where we have the imperative to improve the lives of patients and clinicians through better systems. I have a track record of building high functioning teams with a focus on tangible outcomes. I believe partnering with clinical leaders and growing clinician/informatician hybrids is key to data and digital advancement in healthcare.

Data and Digital are critical enablers to support the key system shifts to realise the health system reforms; working in partnership with our clinicians and community is fundamental to implementing smarter ways of working and delivering measurable value.
