Pen Clinical Audit and Practice Health Atlas

A major focus of the activities of the Practice Capacity Team is to facilitate improvement of:

• quality of data held in General Practice patient databases
• uptake and utilisation of General Practice Nurses
• implementation of GP Management Plans (GPMP) and Team Care Arrangements (TCA)
  other MBS items in the management of chronic disease

The PEN Clinical Audit tool (PCAT) and Practice Health Atlas (PHA) are clinical information systems which support quality improvement in information management and enhance the business capability of General Practice.  They are the main tools being used to assist in meeting the above aims.

Four of our Division staff have been trained in the use and implementation of Practice Health Atlas.

Work continues with the 3 Primary Care Partnerships that are part of the Murray-Plains Division of General Practice - Campaspe PCP, Bendigo-Loddon PCP and Southern Mallee PCP as well as Greater Southern Area Health Service (NSW).
