Redesigned CESPHN website
We are excited to announce that we launched our redesigned website this week. We took feedback on board from stakeholders across the central and eastern Sydney region to create a more streamlined and user-friendly website. We hope that you will enjoy the new website and can be contacted for feedback at website@cesphn.com.au.

Digital health PIP: Feb-Apr quarter
This PIP quarter is finishing on 31 January 2018. Remember to upload My Health Record shared health summaries to meet your practice’s requirements. Each quarter your practice must upload five shared health summaries for each 1,000 Standardised Whole Patient Equivalent (SWPE). Your practice SWPE is featured on your PIP statement. If your practice has less than 1,000 SWPE, then the minimum quota is still five shared health summaries. If you do not upload your practice full quota you will not receive your dPIP payment. For more information please contact the digital health team.
