Recent Events
HIC, HISA's annual eHealth conference is over for another year. With one of the largest attendances ever, delegates experienced outstanding keynotes, some exceptional presented papers and an industry expo that had a buzz of excitement.
We have captured all the presentations and you can download them from the HIC08 website by clicking on the appropriate button below.
