The majority of practices registered for the Digital Health Practice Incentive Program (ePIP) have met or exceeded the new target for uploading shared health summaries to the My Health Record system, according to the Department of Health, but it is not releasing the actual numbers.

New eligibility requirements of the ePIP were brought in last year, requiring that general practices upload shared health summaries for 0.5 per cent of the practice’s standardised whole patient equivalent (SWPE). This averages out to about five SHSs per GP per quarter.
