PENCS released a version of scheduler V2 and it relied on a windows username and password to be created. If the password was changed this meant that the scheduler did not run and the impact was that their monthly extract not being collected on the day they had set up. PENCS have developed a new version of the software V3 that will run runs in a different way. This software can also receive updates without the need for PENCS to remotely log in.
In consultation with the PHN PHNs we have developed the new version of the software and are working to update this software with all the practicesstrongly encourage all practices to book an appointment to update their V2 Scheduler to the new V3.

Scheduler can also send a deidentified extract to the PHN upon the involved patients' agreement and nomination requestif agreed to by the practice.

What is the benefit of Scheduler?
This software allows the practice to compare the changes in the data on a monthly basis, or over the entire three year period. The practice can use the data and quality improvements that can be easily described using the graphs.
The RACGP requires in the Quality Improvement activities that "Our Practice can describe aspects of our practice that we have improved in the past three years" http://www.racgp.org.au/your-practice/standards/standards4thedition/safety,-quality-improvement-and-education/3-1/quality-improvement-activities/
