Who needs a HPI-I?

Generally, a HPI-I is for healthcare providers and other health personnel involved in providing patient care. For usage of the My Health Record system or ePrescribing, we would recommend anyone you have set up as a Provider in the system (for example, Nurse Practitioner - yes, Registered Nurse - probably not)

Set up a Provider for My Health Record

Administration > Staff Members > View a specific provider

In addition to configuring the Organisation level access, your individual clinicians and providers will have been provided a specific HPI-I number. If you are unsure, you can search by AHPRA Registration Number.

This is configurable under the Statutory Reporting section.

If you know a provider has an HPI-I but aren't sure if it is correct or not, you can use the Search to check and verify the details

Set up Professional Contacts HPI-I

In a similar fashion to setting up your own providers, you will want to ensure you have the HPI-I details of other professional contacts you interact with.

CareRight features the ability to search and verify. (currently you have to manually setup each individual professional contact)
