This position statement has been developed to recognise the pivotal role of nurses in the widespread implementation and adoption of digital health technologies throughout the healthcare sector for the primary purpose of improving safety and quality of patient care. The successful planning, implementation, management and sustainability of such technologies cannot be achieved without the unique contribution of nurses.
The competencies set the minimum requirements in terms of skills, knowledge, understandings and capabilities that will enable a candidate to perform in a professional environment. The competencies serve to define what health informatics professionals know and do. This framework can also be used as a set of guidelines for recruiting purposes, definitions of career pathways, or the design of educational and training activities.
They provide the context in which the questions for the CHIA exam have been developed.
The Guidelines serves as a resource to assist the health sector as a whole, and especially healthcare professionals, to protect the personal health information (PHI) they require to do their work, and to meet their role and responsibilities.
They describe key security and privacy issues faced by healthcare organisations and offers guidance for responding to these issues. It is not an all-encompassing guide on the protection of PHI; rather, it is designed as a stepping stone to help healthcare organisations address common concerns, avoid confusion, and prevent misunderstandings. http://healthprivacy.org.au/

In the issue of the Medical Journal of Australia published just prior to the November 2007 election, a number of commentators including the Federal Minister and Shadow Minister reflected on the Australian health system and their plans for its future. The members of the Health Informatics Society of Australia (HISA) believe there is a yawning gap in this analysis both in terms of the size of the problem and how it might be fixed.

On behalf of Australia’s digital health community, HISA commends this submission to the Sustainable Health Review Panel, and wish them well in their deliberations. Our Board and members would welcome further involvement in the review process, either within the Panel’s current terms of reference or beyond.
The Health Informatics Society of Australia (HISA) made a proposal to the E-Health Branch of the Australian Department of Health and Ageing (DoHA) that a review of the health informatics workforce be undertaken and were subsequently contracted to „prepare a background discussion paper which sets out the scope and structure of the health informatics workforce and draw together a summary of the key issues, gaps and opportunities for further work to be undertaken on this issue’. This then is a scoping study.
The Australian Healthcare and Hospitals Association (AHHA) has convened three groups of experts, clinicians and academics to develop practical policy options across a range of areas.
