PHNs apply for competition exemption to roll out new GP data extraction tool
The WA Primary Health Alliance (WAPHA) has applied for an exemption to competition rules to develop and roll out a new GP data extraction tool and supply it to other Primary Health Networks (PHNs), in a move opposed by the medical software industry’s peak body.
The PHNs are planning to develop a new tool called Primary Sense 2, building on the existing Primary Sense tool developed by the Gold Coast PHN, which performs a similar function as Pen CS’s Cat4 and Topbar and Outcome Health’s POLAR tool for extracting data for programs such as the quality improvement practice incentive (PIP QI).
