About HISA
The vision of HISA is to improve the health of the community by educating the public and health practitioners about digital health and health informatics.
One of our key strategic pillars is to upskill all people working in healthcare on how information can be captured, used and shared to benefit patients, the healthcare system and the community as a whole.
Our range of accessible programs and services are available to any member of the public and HISA is a non-profit organisation.

The challenge
Under the current healthcare system, information about patients is not recorded efficiently or effectively, clinicians can't easily share information with each other and with patients and this has many adverse events (preventable medical error is the third leading cause of death). The majority of healthcare still runs on paper, which means that complex and critical information is being captured through manual processes which are not readily communicated or broadly accessible.
HISA's purpose is to change that through a connected health system and a connected and digitally competent health workforce. There is growing acknowledgement that digital health is the key for realising high quality, safe and efficient care that delivers improved health outcomes. HISA operates to address the challenge of harnessing the digital revolution to put consumers (patients) first and support clinicians to deliver the best possible healthcare for the public benefit.
