The Australasian Institute of Digital Health will launch next month following an overwhelming yes vote by members for a merger between the Health Informatics Society of Australia (HISA) and the Australasian College of Health Informatics (ACHI).

More than 89 per cent of members voted in favour of the proposal, which has been discussed for several years. A consultation round was held last May to gauge member interest and it went to a vote in December.
