JOURNAL
ARCHIVE (Previous Print Editions).
To
complement the growing archive of the electronic editions of the
Journal, we are endeavouring to make available through the HIMAA Member
Area - Journal Archive the annotations for previous print editions of
the journal and viewable or downloadable electronic copies of the
articles. We would like to thank Alida Minchella, one of our
members for the time and effort she has put into preparing the
annotations - great job Alida! We held back putting it up on
the web hoping to have electronic articles available, but that will take
a bit longer, so we have put up the annotations as an initial reference.
You can see them in the Member Area at http://www.himaa.org.au/members/JournalArchives/HIMJArchives2000.htm
Your HIMAA Membership helps support making this information

HIMAA
Web Site Milestone - Over 1.8 Million Hits in a year
This was
yet another great year the HIMAA website with a over 1.8 million
hits! Our audience is much greater than our membership. Less
than 4% of hits to our site comes from search engines. This indicates
that we have a direct health industry audience. HIMAA's
role as a leader in the region is reinforced as evidenced by the fact
that 50% of our audience is international.
If you are dealing with
commercial vendors, you might like to let them know of the success of
the HIMAA web site and that we are now accepting commercial advertising
by way of banners linking back to their companies web sites. Advertising
inquiries should be forwarded to Ross at rossf@himaa.org.au.
Special
advertising discounts do apply for bulk buyers of brand building and
product launch campaigns and/or other market specific promotions. Commercial
advertising provides a convenient contact point to the products and
services available for members and their Health Services. If you
are a vendor, ask yourself - does your web site receive one million
(plus) hits - does it give your product or service the level of
exposure we can provide (both locally and internationally)? Boost
your market presence now by placing your banner on and
by sponsoring our HIMAA e-Newsletter. This is the most
focussed form of advertising in our market sector - don't miss out
on this very valuable opportunity. |

NCCH
ICD-10-AM 3rd Edition Manuals Now Available and in stock
The National Centre for Classification in Health
(NCCH) today announced the publication of the International
Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems,
Tenth Revision, Australian Modification (ICD-10-AM) Third Edition.
The classification will be implemented in all Australian acute care
hospitals from July 1 2002. ICD-10-AM is produced by Australia's
National Centre for Classification in Health for the Department of
Health and Aging in collaboration with the Australian institute of
Health and Welfare and the Australian Bureau of Statistics. ICD-10-AM is
the Australian Modification of the World Health Organization's ICD-10.
ICD-10-AM classifies all possible diseases, symptoms, signs, causes of
injury and types of neoplasm. It also contains a detailed classification
of surgical procedures and other medical and allied health
investigations. It provides a way to collate accurate de-identified data
about health care in Australia from records. ICD-10-AM standardises
representations of diseases, injuries and other states of health and
procedures to allow statistical and other interpretations of health
data. When attached to an inpatient episode of care, ICD-10-AM codes can
be used to describe a hospital's Casemix for clinical management and
funding purposes. Check the NCCH website for prices and ordering
information at http://www2.fhs.usyd.edu.au/ncch/
