Integrating Healthcare Identifiers into Electronic Practice Records

Make Healthcare Identifiers available for Secure Message Delivery and for use in the personally controlled electronic health (eHealth) record.

The Healthcare Identifiers Service (HI Service) uniquely identifies healthcare providers and individuals who seek healthcare to ensure that the right health information is associated with the right individual at the point-of-care. Medicare Australia operates the HI Service.

The HI Service allocates three types of healthcare identifiers:

Individual Healthcare Identifier (IHI) - Allocated to individuals enrolled in the Medicare program, issued with a Department of Veterans' Affairs (DVA) treatment card, or who seek healthcare in Australia. Each registered patient will be provided with an IHI (Individual Healthcare Identifier) number. It is automatically retrieved and entered in the patient's details.
Healthcare Provider Identifier - Individual (HPI-I) - Allocated to healthcare providers involved in providing patient care. Each registered practitioner must apply for an HPI-I (Healthcare Provider Identifier-Individual) number. Enter it in the practitioner's details.
Healthcare Provider Identifier - Organisation (HPI-O) - Allocated to organisations that deliver healthcare, such as hospitals and medical practices. Each registered practice must apply for an HPI-O (Healthcare Provider Identifier- Organisation) number. Enter it in the practice's details.

Before you begin integrating Healthcare Identifiers in both Clinical and Pracsoft, obtain the following information:

Ensure your practice is accredited with RACGP for PIP.
Obtain a HPI-O.
Obtain a HPI-I.
Obtain a NASH PKI certificate/s.
