Health Informaticians need to participate on the development or procurement of health information systems for use by clinicians; patients, public; other professionals and researchers. They will provide oversight and understanding of the functionality of health/clinical information systems and applications. These clinical systems do not stand-alone and increasingly interoperate, exchanging data with other systems that potentially do not sit in the traditional clinical system ecosystem. In this rapidly changing landscape, health informaticians are required to rethink the methods and techniques used in system development and analysis. This must be done in a way that fits within the standards and guidance relating to medical devices, infrastructure/software development; data security and network management in a range of scenarios.
