Welcome to the IT Health Board

The role of the IT Health Board (known formally as the National Health Information Technology Board) is to provide leadership on the implementation and use of information systems across the health and disability sector. The IT Health Board is a sub-committee of the National Health Board and is charged with ensuring that health sector policy is supported by appropriate health information and IT solutions.
