Light the candles! Happy 50th birthday HIMJ! Underpinning an agile, future-facing health information management profession

The year 2021 marks the 50th anniversary of this journal. Health Information Management Journal (HIMJ) has grown from modest beginnings into the one-of-a-kind journal that today is a pillar of the global and Australian health information management profession. HIMJ is a jewel in the crown of the Health Information Management Association of Australia (HIMAA). The quality of research, practice and opinion manuscripts submitted from around the world reflects its significant international influence and reach; indeed, HIMJ is the only journal owned by a national health information management association to have an Impact Factor.
