Open letter to the new CCIO

Tēnā koe, Lara!

Warm congratulations on your recent appointment. It is very exciting to have someone with your experience in this role. As the Chair and Co Chair of the Clinical Informatics Leadership Network (CiLN) Advisory Panel, we take this opportunity to offer you our support in making your new role as effective and productive as possible. We believe this role will be critical in driving Aotearoa NZ’s journey that leverages technology and data for better and more equitable health outcomes for people and whānau while improving the workforce experience.

The Clinical Informatics Leadership Network (CiLN) is a 600 strong clinical informatician community network. The elected CiLN Advisory Panel drives the implementation of CiLN’s mission to connect the clinical informaticians of Aotearoa NZ, and collectively advocate for successful digital transformation based upon technical expertise tempered by clinical experience.

Our position is that clinical informaticians are integral to the digitisation of the health sector by leading and/or partnering with data and digital governance, procurement, design, development, change management, implementation, evaluation, maintenance, and continuous improvement. Clinical informaticians include registered, self-regulated and non-registered health professionals.

We look forward to opportunity to whananungatanga with you and Leigh, to build an effective and ongoing partnership so that the benefits of the digitised health sector are realised.

Tēnā kōrua, Jerome and Kate

Thank you for taking the lead in promoting whanaungatanga

I believe that the CiLN network fulfils several important roles, giving a combined voice to people who are passionate about putting informatics to good use, providing a common forum, and acting as a sounding board for new and better ideas.

I have already considered how I might contribute, and how I might tap into the wisdom of the many smart people who participate in CiLN. You have no doubt seen my post:

I intend to honour my commitment to an at-least-monthly update. I hope to contribute a lot more.

I have one particularly important topic in mind that I’ll soon seek feedback and ideas on;

I’d welcome other suggestions for topics, and indeed other thoughts about how I can help.

I’m looking forward to participating in the collegial sharing of information and ideas that seems to be a strong feature of CiLN.

Nāku noa, nā

Lara.
