Changes to Clinical


The Practice	Each practice is provided with an HPI-O (Healthcare Provider Identifier - Organisation) number, which must be entered in the associated field on the Practice tab of Clinical Options. Medicare Australia can also issue you with a Signing Certificate and Encryption Certificate, which must be imported via the PKI tab of MedicalDirector Clinical Options.
Practitioners	Each practitioner is provided with an HPI-I (Healthcare Provider Identifier - Individual) number, which must be entered in the associated field within the Practitioner's details.
Patients	Each patient is provided with an IHI (Individual Healthcare Identifier) number, which is entered automatically in the associated field on the Pt Details tab of the patient's demographic information.

Once you apply for your Healthcare Identifiers (HI) Service Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) Certificates, you will receive these certificates on a CD.

Notes:

The NASH PKI Certificate, required for My Health Record and Secure Messaging, will be provided on a separate CD.
If you use both Clinical and Pracsoft you only need to perform the steps below in one product.
