PEN CS is proud and excited to be part of For the purposes of evaluating the Health Care Homes (HCH) trial currently being rolled out to 10 PHN regions and around 200 general practice clinics and Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Services (ACCHS). Topbar and CAT4 support the enrolment and management of patients eligible for the HCH and both tools provide easy enrolment and reportingTrial, Pen CS has enhanced its current CAT Plus suite of products to allow participating practices to enrol and manage patients who have agreed to take part in the HCH Trial. This enhanced functionality is delivered through the Health Care Homes PAT Program.

The Pen CS platform includes four fully integrated products:

• Topbar – decision support tool at point of care
• CAT4 – practice population extraction and reporting tool
• Pen CS Scheduler – automated CAT4 collection and data submission tool
• PAT Programs – Patient enrolment, tracking, filtering and reporting solution

Participating practices will gain access to the HCH App in Topbar. The HCH App will allow the health professional to enrol a patient into one of three tiers according to their care requirements. For practices not using Topbar, a patient enrol solution using CAT4 is available, however Topbar is the recommended tool for patient enrolment.

CAT4 reporting and filtering provides an additional level of detail allowing practices apply their own risk stratification rules to recall patients that may benefit from participating in the trial. Once patients have been enrolled in a HCH tier, CAT4 provides options to filter by those tiers to assist with patient health management throughout the duration of the trial.

Monthly CAT4 data collections can be automated and will collect, de-identify and submit de-identified data to both the PHN and th Health Policy Analysis Pty Ltd for further evaluation.
