Premier Health Event Brings Together Industry Leaders For A Health-e-Nation

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA (January 31, 2013) – The 2013 Health-e-Nation Leadership Summit is gearing up to make a big impact on the health care industry this year. Now in its 11th year, this high-profile event is renowned for bringing together distinguished thought leaders from healthcare, government and IT in an atmosphere that fosters discussion and collaboration. This year’s event will be held from 19-21 March at the RACV City Club, 501 Bourke St, Melbourne.

“As a response to the pace of health reform and the day-to-day reality for organisations being asked to do more with less, Health-e-Nation mixes practical tools with strategic vision and insights drawn from real health experience. Crucial topics to be addressed include business intelligence, eHealth governance, medication management, Telehealth and greater integration between acute and primary care,” said Sally Glass, Managing Director of CHIK Services.

The Health-e-Nation Leadership Summit is Australia’s premier eHealth leadership event and it has been attracting the best in the field for over a decade. This year is no different, with a distinct list of influential local and international speakers ready to stimulate and challenge the status quo of the health care industry.

The selection of notable speakers includes Dr Gareth Goodier, Chief Executive for Melbourne Health, Richard Alvarez, President & CEO of Canada Health Infoway, and Chai Chuah, Director of the National Health Board Unit within the New Zealand Ministry of Health. Other influential leaders taking part in the event include Jane Halton PSM, Secretary of the Department of Health and Ageing, and Graham W. S. Scott, Chairman of the Board of Canada Health Infoway.
Attendees at the Health-e-Nation Leadership Summit will take part in recognising achievements, and inspiring, shaping and transforming the industry’s next steps. There will also be many opportunities for networking and one-on-one discussions with industry leaders from around the world.

In addition to the Summit exhibition and presentations on 20 March, a series of strategic workshops for Board Members, CEOs, CIOs, Senior Policy makers and their direct reports feature on the 19th and 21st March.
