| The purpose of this study was to explore how Health Informatics research collaboration among Trainees and Mentors in the CHPSTP was mediated by information and communication technologies. Using qualitative methods, a purposive sample of fifteen CHPSTP Trainees and Mentors who participated in the CHPSTP-Virtual Community were interviewed. Results of the study indicate that the CHPSTP has been considered a growing success and through the use of technology has enabled a national Health Informatics Community of Practice to develop, function and grow. As a consequence, Health Informatics researchers have enhanced opportunities to collaborate and increase their HI network, as well as increased research and training capacity. |
