HISAC will set a direction for the appropriate use of personal health information in the New Zealand health and disability sector. That direction will be driven by two considerations: patient safety and value for money.

We will fulfill our mandate by:

Providing independent advice as to the options for investments in the personal health information environment, support the Minister to identify the priority areas, and communicate those priorities to the health sector.
Supporting the Ministry of Health, District Health Boards and other health care organisations to deliver to the identified priorities.
Reporting to the Minister and the sector on progress against those identified priority areas and in particular identifying barriers to implementation and national adoption.
