Welcome to the NIHI Health Informatics blog

Welcome to the NIHI Health Informatics blog

The NIHI Health Informatics blog is devoted to the discussion of issues/topics related to the practice of, teaching of, and research in health informatics and provides for its community of users a meeting place

· to register issues, to articulate what they are about, to get input on them and to try to achieve consensus on them.

· for friendly debate.

· to raise the awareness of the HI community regarding important matters (articles, reports, events).

· to suggest collaborations or worthwhile projects and to find collaborators.

· to discuss key topics of interest to HI professionals in Canada

· to discuss key topics of interest to HI professionals across the world.


To make it easier to follow threads and discussions through the blog we ask that you label your post with a tag that identifies the area of interest, e.g. education, research, human resources, HI applications, funding, etc.


The blog will be moderated. I'll act as coordinator and blog poster for central Canada and I am looking for (or will ask ; )) for moderators from the east and west coasts so we can cover all issues that are of interest across the country.


This is a new experience for us and I'm sure we'll be learning as we are doing, but we invite all to participate and join in the discussion.
