Nurses have a pivotal role to play in the widespread implementation and adoption of digital health technologies throughout the healthcare sector for the primary purpose of improving safety and quality of patient care.

The Australian College of Nursing (ACN) Nurse Informatics and Digital Health Faculty brings together a group of nurses with a common interest in nursing informatics and/or digital health technologies, to work together to solve problems, share knowledge, cultivate best practice and foster innovation in this important area of healthcare. Members will play an integral part in assisting ACN with inputs into submissions and papers and representing ACN.
