The DHA Communities of Practice – Digital Interoperability, is held every two months. 

Evolving from the Digital Interoperability Industry Group (DIIG), the Digital Interoperability CoP brings together industry experts providing digital interoperability enablers – core software and services essential to health IT systems including digital identity, security, privacy, standards, data governance, API releases, and foundational systems (NHI, HPI).  

Working collaboratively with government and non-government groups, the CoP provides leadership and strategic guidance to New Zealand’s Health and Disability Sector while advocating for mature, stable, secure solutions and supporting standards development. 

The group is chaired by Chris Royle, Solutions Architect, Dedalus APAC.
