How innovation and procurement combine to enable transformation in healthcare

We have brought together some of the most relevant voices in the system right now to share their current thinking on where things are heading and what it means for health tech companies.

Michael Alp, GM Procurement, MBIE will open with a view on how innovation and procurement can work together to drive real transformation in healthcare, and where the opportunities lie for industry to engage.

Andy Windsor, Health New Zealand will build on that with an HNZ perspective on how the system is putting that thinking into practice.

Together Helen Lear, Darren Douglass and Grant Lyons and will walk through The Centre’s role in the system, including the Health Digital Investment Plan (HDIP) context, and what that means for HNZ Digital.
