IHE Australia in partnership with HISA are offering our annual update on healthcare interoperability and standards on the weekend prior to the HIC conference. If you live in Melbourne don’t miss it and if joining us in Melbourne for HIC this offers additional value. The day-long session will focus on electronic health communication and standardisation relevant to health providers, managers and the IT industry. This Pre-HIC workshop will be held on Sunday 11 August and will examine local and international eHealth experience and standards to move healthcare connectivity forward. While standards involved are somewhat “hidden” from view, knowing about them is crucial for purchasers and users of healthcare technology.
