Your application to participate in the Program must be finalised before your practice can register for the PIP QI payment. WAPHA must ensure that it provides the Department of Health with data that enables it to reliably identify participating practices.
To do this, we need to know your practice's PIP ID, and the name your practice is known by to the Department of Human Services this will usually match the name recorded on your certificate of accreditation. In addition to registration for PIP QI, WAPHA collects and stores your accreditation information, such as your accreditation provider, and the expiry date of your current accreditation.
By having this information recorded for your practice, we can utilise identifiers known to the Department of Health and Department of Human Services to guide your practice on the requirements. Yes, we can. The table below provides some guidance on the payments available per quarter, and per annum, based on your practice's SWPE. This information is provided as an estimate only: the payments for which your practice is eligible may differ from the calculations below.
The Practice Incentives Program operates on a quarterly structure, with eligibility assessed on the final day of the month prior to the quarterly payment month. Quarterly payment month Point in time assessment of eligibility Reference period February 31 January 1 November to 31 January May 30 April 1 February to 30 April August 31 July 1 May to 31 July November 31 October 1 August to 31 October For the purpose of the PIP QI, it is important for practices to remember that there is a defined data submission period for each quarter, and only extractions received within the data submission period will contribute to the practice's payment eligibility for that quarter.
If your practice does not receive a payment but all data sharing and other PIP QI eligibility requirements have been met, it may have had its payment delayed or withheld due to: non-compliance with eHealth incentives requirements this can affect all PIP payments for a short time expired general practice accreditation or recent updates to accreditation status not received failure to submit the annual confirmation statement If your practice does not receive an expected PIP QI payment, or believes there are extenuating circumstances that should be considered, please direct your communication through the Department of Human Services by completing the Practice incentives review of decision form IP The ten quality improvement measures are: Proportion of patients with diabetes with a current HbA1c result Proportion of patients with a smoking status Proportion of patients with a weight classification Proportion of patients aged 65 and over who were immunised against influenza Proportion of patients with diabetes who were immunised against influenza Proportion of patients with COPD who were immunised against influenza Proportion of patients with alcohol consumption status Proportion of patients with the necessary risk factors assessed to enable CVD assessment Proportion of female patients with an up-to-date cervical screening Proportion of patients with diabetes with a blood pressure result The PIP Eligible Data Set is de-identified patient data, aggregated at the practice level.
Under the guidelines of the program, the PIP Eligible Data Set can only be used for the purposes of: Improving the quality of care and patient outcomes Improving the capacity for general practices to benchmark their activities against peers on an agreed set of improvement measures Providing nationally consistent, comparable data against specified quality improvement measures to create regional and national health data sets Contributing to service planning and population health mapping at different levels including PHN boundaries, local health districts, jurisdictional boundaries, and national, and Confirming participant eligibility for the receipt of Commonwealth funding under the PIP QI incentive.
Note that participation in the incentive must be approved prior to the data extraction: successful extractions that occur prior to successful PIP QI registration will be considered ineligible. If this is the preferred method you wish to implement, please contact you WAPHA Practice Support Staff to establish a data sharing arrangement which will take some time and coordination. Whatever your current circumstances, it is important that you get in touch promptly as the process for establishing a data sharing arrangement will take some time and coordination.
Your first data submission must be received between 1 August and 15 October for your practice to be eligible for a Quarter 1 payment. While practices with non-compatible software were eligible for the PIP QI exemption, that period has now ended 31 July and you will need to adopt a portal solution for sharing data with the PHN.
Please contact your Practice Support Team member to initiate this process. Assuming your practice uses software that is compatible with Pen CS, CAT4 can be configured to run a data extract by location once the clinical software has been correctly configured.
