Practice and Provider Monitor (PPM) - a common information source for both providers and commissioners

Designed to build on the Practice Based Commissioning (PBC) and Hospital Activity Tracker (HAT) tools, PPM allows commissioners, GPs and service providers to share, discuss and monitor in-hospital activity on-line.

The new PPM tool includes: new, easy-to-use tool design; budgeting function with the ability to upload and cascade budgets down to practice level; an activity query facility, enabling the GPs, PCTs and acute trusts to highlight queries and resolutions with one another; new standard built-in reports; an HRG national tariff look-up table for easy reference.
