Collaboration

The PPR is more than just convenience. The real appeal lies in the fact that it’s a platform connecting practitioners with the insurers and hospitals they work with. This paves the way for more effective working practices and collaboration across the sector.

Secured Data

Your personal information needs as much protection as your patients’. We safeguard your privacy. Access is only given to those who have permission by using unique login credentials. The PPR is fully encrypted. We take a daily back-up copy of your data which is securely stored on our UK-based computing platform.

Control

Through our restless approach, The PPR has evolved into a dynamic online platform which enables many tasks to be managed more efficiently. Most importantly, it helps you manage your practice information at a time when the private healthcare sector is becoming increasingly aware of the need for accurate, secure and shareable data.

Transparency and Protection

The PPR is a central point of information for hospitals. We provide a transparent view of your practitioner population in one place. Check accurate contact details, specialties, qualifications and licences. Grant and maintain practising privileges. Get notified of any changes to key information. Stay informed. Make decisions you can rely on.

Secure Communication

The PPR is integrated seamlessly with our Secure Messaging and healthDrive platforms. Now you can store and share sensitive and confidential information and search for exactly the right contact on our global directory of practitioners, hospitals and insurers, without compromising patient privacy.

Appointment Booking

Practitioners will be able to publish their services and synchronise availability through ICE, our integrated channel exchange. The information entered in The PPR is made available in real-time to booking websites - extending your reach to many more patients.

Every hospital has access to our basic PPR plan - allowing you to link practitioners to your site for electronic billing. That's not all. Constantly evolving, we're continuing to align The PPR with the principles of the Medical Practitioner’s Assurance Framework (MPAF). Get your governance ship-shape - meet MPAF requirements to grant or renew practising privileges. The PPR is designed with these responsibilities in mind.

  • Streamline the practising privileges process
  • A central source of information about practitioner practice capabilities and rights
  • CCSD-coded procedures carried out at qualifying sites and displayed using plain language procedure groups
  • Discover the number of times procedures were carried out at your site by each practitioner over a 12-month rolling period and the age groups treated - also see the other hospitals where these were carried out by them
