The dashboard
Log into Healthcode Account and go to your Products and Services. Click the PPR tab which opens up your dashboard. If it’s the first time you’ve logged on, a splash screen will appear – simply click Continue. There’s lots of information about your practitioners that you can see at a glance:
- The number of practitioners linked to your hospital and, of those the number who have
- a complete profile
- an incomplete profile
- a profile that hasn’t been updated in the last 6 months

- been newly added to your list within the last 30 days
- Practitioners by status (their PPR profile)
- Practitioners by recognition status
- Practitioners by specialty

Use the Edit layout button in the top-right corner to reorder the charts and move your most important ones to the top. All filters are set to All by default. Clicking any coloured segment will take you directly to your Practitioner directory to view the practitioners in that category. You can also use the filters at the top of each section to adjust the charts and gain deeper insight into your practitioner population.
The same applies to the cards on the left-hand side. Clicking any card, such PPR – Missing private practice, will take you to a filtered list showing only the practitioners in that category.
Clicking on View all > on the Practitioners card will take you directly to your Practitioner directory.
Practitioner directory
From here you can either search for an existing practitioner or, to send invoices electronically using the Clearing Service, you can map a new practitioner who’ll be listed as a Controlling Specialist on an invoice to your hospital.
If you need help with searching for, adding, editing, viewing or removing practitioners, take a look at the Basic article. Pro gives you additional options, highlighted below in blue.
