News Stories

Pulse+IT welcomes press releases and article suggestions from organisations operating in the health IT and digital health sectors. For Pulse+IT’s purposes, an ideal press release will:

• Succinctly answer the four Ws (Who, What, Why, Where), as well as ‘How’
• Be written in plain English, with technical terms clearly defined
• Ensure any claims that are subjective or promotional in nature are attributed to a representative of the organisation.

Opinion Pieces

Pulse+IT also welcomes opinion pieces on things that are shaping digital health from experts in their fields. Opinion pieces ideally should be:

• Written in non-academic language and stating an opinion
• About a current topic of interest to the wider digital health and health IT industry
• Free from promotional material from software or technology vendors about their products.

Word Counts

Pulse+IT does not prescribe word counts but recommends up to 800 words for news items and up to 1200 words for opinion pieces.

Article Submission

Before submitting an article to Pulse+IT, please note that:

• Articles should be reviewed by at least one of the writer’s colleagues with an insight into the subject matter.
• Accompanying photographs are high resolution jpgs, in landscape mode, with a caption.

Exclusions

As an publication devoted to Australia and New Zealand, Pulse+IT does not actively pursue health IT developments outside of these markets.

Pulse+IT does not generally cover news relating to industry or academic awards.
