Integrated Performance and Incentive Framework (IPIF) Funding
The Integrated Performance and Incentive Framework aims to improve the health of communities and reduce inequalities by encouraging primary health organisations to achieve predetermined targets for certain activities. These include immunisation, mammography, cervical screening, cardiovascular risk assessment, smoking cessation advice and support. The funding available, if all targets are met, is small per patient ($5.33), but when pooled across a larger organisation like Pegasus Health, is enough to fund across-the-board quality improvement activities that benefit everyone.
The IPIF funding this year has again provided partial subsidization for the education programme, with the CDHB funding the majority of the programme. Additionally this year, support for the Foundation Standards accreditation programme, cold chain accreditation, patient dashboard and practice administration training were also funded via IPIF funding that was received.
