Winter Challenge

Join our Winter Challenge!

Upload at least one shared health summary (SHS) a day to My Health Record per GP in your practice to win up to $800* for training and education for your practice. Regularly uploading SHSs will also help you meet the criteria for ePIP payments.

Your PCLO will support you with training and resources to help you successfully complete the Challenge.

Some tips

• Make it easy: get into the habit of uploading a SHS whenever you do a care plan, health assessment or immunisation!
• Upload a SHS in My Health Record for patients taking ongoing medications or requiring specialist care for complex conditions.
• Download and print our patient poster to put up in your waiting room.
