Ministry of Health, National
An innovative project that saves precious blood products and a 24-hour health helpline are among the winners of this year's Sharing Excellence in Health and Disability Information Management Awards.
The New Zealand Blood Service (NZBS), Wellington Independent Practice Association Limited (WIPA), Webhealth and McKesson New Zealand have been recognised for projects which show innovation and excellence in information management at the awards which were run by the Ministry of Health and announced at the Health Informatics New Zealand (HINZ) Conference in Auckland on August 9.
Debbie Chin, Ministry of Health Deputy Director-General, said the winning projects had enormous potential for use across many health service providers.
"It is very encouraging to see health information being channelled for useful purposes by a wide range of service providers. Health information is being used to empower communities to make good decisions for their own health and well-being, and this is certainly worthy of an award".
