Provider Connect Australia
Overview
Provider Connect Australia™ (PCA™) is an Australian Digital Health Agency initiative to help healthcare providers update their business information in a single place.
Sydney North Health Network have partnered with Provider Connect Australia™ (PCA™) to help transform data accuracy and increase digital health interoperability across the Australian healthcare ecosystem.
A growing number of healthcare providers and business partners are using the free PCA™ service to streamline their relationships and reduce their admin burden.
Watch this video for a quick overview of how PCA™ works.
For Healthcare Providers
The fastest way for healthcare providers to keep business partners and patients up-to-date with important business changes – like opening hours, contact information and healthcare services – is by updating their details through PCA™. Once registered with PCA™, providers can choose to automatically send these important business updates to all their business partners, eliminating the need to manually update multiple platforms when their details change.
GPs or general practices that are having issues receiving discharge summaries from NSW public hospitals will benefit from registering with PCA, to keep their details updated with NSW Health.
Register for PCA™
Healthcare providers who register in PCA™ can publish their details directly to their PHN, and the National Health Services Directory’s Service Finder on the same day, making it easier for patients to find you.
- A PRODA account is required to register. Register for PRODA if needed.
- Once logged in to PRODA, simply go to the ‘PCA Tile’ and register.
