THE Medical Software Industry Association (MSIA) is set to merge with the Aged Care IT Vendors Association (ACIVA), with the aim of providing a united voice for the health and aged care IT sector in Australia.
ACIVA was established in 2009 with the aim of representing the aged and community care sectors and IT vendors working in the area at various national forums in relation to strategic developments and e-health.
Merging with MSIA will see the organisation extend its role helping members "navigate the complex digital health environment in Australasia".
The Pharmacy Guild signed an agreement with the MSIA late last year (PD 15 Dec 2016), with a Memorandum of Understanding detailing the common objective to support community pharmacies in performing their role via specifically tailored pharmacy software.
