HLA/HCN Health Informatics Innovation Award


If you haven't checked it out already, HCN is sponsoring a new award, the HLA/HCN Health Informatics Innovation Award. This is a great opportunity to showcase innovative projects which, through the use of health informatics or web technologies contribute to or support improved health outcomes.

The winner of the Award will receive $2500 to put toward professional development... a substantial amount of money at the best of times but especially in the current economic climate. $2500 might enable all the members of a winning team to attend workshops, or an individual a trip to an overseas conference.

But what I really like about this Award is the sharing of information; we get to learn from one another. And, remember, you can self-nominate or be nominated by a colleague. Please do consider nominating a deserving colleague if you think they won't self-nominate.

The application form and guidelines can be downloaded from the HLA website or contact a member of the HLA Executive for an application.

Applications close 27 February 2009 so get your skates on!
