Editor's Notes
- Good morning, haere mai, g’day, buon giorno, buenas dias, whatever language you usually use, I hope you use the language of Health Informatics this week. Pleasure to welcome you to 2014 HINZ Conference & Exhibition My role as chair – 6 mins to set stage for the bigger picture of HINZ. This isn’t as easy as you might think I realise you are all here, all 500 of you, to see and hear somebody other than me. I’m not taking this personally, however, I have a responsibility in my role to open the conference with something that is worthwhile to you. We all know statistics on how little people remember, I thought I mighthave a chance to get one word to stick. And that one word is – TRUST. At this year’s conference, I would really hope that you look for effective, transparent ways to build trust. [] No not that trussed – I mean the other kind [] The goal for HINZ is to be– a virtual and physical trusted space where we collect, create and share knowledge about information in health. No other professional organisation in New Zealand has the breadth of membership across the health sector – and we hold the responsibilityto be quite sacred – our goal is to create unity from our diversity. []
- The reason this is so important to state is because it permeates our very reason for existence. [] I’m definitely teaching this crowd to suck egss with this statement – I had to use that phrase because I only recently learned where it came from. [] Over and over, we say, we see it and we talk about the importance of trust – not just in the plethora of photo images that anyone can scrape off the Internet. [] This is real in our own country. Every act of ours needs to be reviewed in the light of the value of that trust. If we don’t practicetrust among ourselves, how do present it to the people who matter most? []
- How is that relevant? There are three points of trust that I’d like for you to carry around with you this week. - Trust within HINZ as an organisation; Transformation over last 18 months of a respected membership society into a professional organisation. That’s taken trust – trust from a number of passionate, founding members to believe in the vision of a new HINZ. Trust that the next generation leaders will continue to carry the vision and embrace a broader constituency. It will take trust from a new generation of leaders to build on those foundations, leverage off lessons from the past. This is a mindful evolution, which means bringing in new skills, new capabilities, new energy because the foundations are in place. [] The second point of trust is within the NZ health sector – which is globally speaking, a compact group. Our country has a small population. And this means we need to address challenges around duplication of effort; accountability for outcomes, conflicts of interest and transparency. Establishing trust in our communication is the only way to succeed. We can’t hide from one another – we are too small a country, and we won’t accomplish what we are here to do. We need mindful boundaries, ones that are enablers and not barriers; we need to work together to accomplish this. [] Third point – the only way I know how to build trust is through human contact. Nobody trusts a faceless organisation – be it a bureacracy, a commercial entity or a complex health service. This is why HINZ exists –to get smart people talking across the silos of the NZ health sector. Faces you see around you are the faces of HINZ. There are 500 people at this HINZ event, there will be somebody who will have knowledge that can help you achieve your goal, and somebody will be looking for the knowledge that you have come here to share. What I urge you to is do is find a way to share that knowledge effectively and with transparency and with trust.
- So I hope you have one word that stuck with you. Many people volunteer their time to further health informatics through HINZ, and HINZ would be no where without all that passion. However, we are looking for 5 individuals to specifically provide governance to the organisation, I trust that you will read the online candidate profiles, complete the online voting for the skills that you feel are needed to provide that leadership. [] Don’t make me tell you again. []
- Over the past six months I have met many HiNZ members, and potential members, to find out what they expect from HiNZ and from our conference. A clear message I received was that you want a broader audience, from across the health sector, to attend the HiNZ Conference. To measure this when you registered you were asked to categorise your role. Here are the results.
- The 615 of you registered for this year’s HiNZ Conference are indeed a very diverse group. YOU are the thought leaders for health informatics in New Zealand. YOU are the ones who will drive and create the future of the New Zealand health sector. The role of HiNZ is to provide the environment and to bring you all together. YOUR role is to make the most of it over the next two days. To learn; to network; to collaborate.
- We have a great line up of speakers. Thank you to all the people who have donated their time and energy into developing these presentations and posters. I would also like to thank Linda McKay, who has worked very hard behind the scenes on the event logistics. As registrations kept going up and up and up; Linda had to rework the catering & session plans many times. Thank you Linda. We have a record number of exhibition booths, and the exhibitors have put a lot of effort into providing you with relevant and useful information. Please give them your respect and your time while you are here.
- Most importantly, I would like to thank our fabulous sponsors. Without their support, and their commitment to health informatics, the HiNZ Conference simply wouldn’t be possible. I wish you all an enjoyable and productive conference.
