What is impetus?
|
impetus™ is a non for profit company that aims to improve the health outcomes of our community by supporting and encouraging sustainable, innovative general practice. We are proudly funded by the Department of Health & Ageing through the Divisions of General Practice Program.
impetus™ works predominately with general practice. To provide the overall context for the work of the organisation we use the Royal Australian College of General Practice (RACGP) definition of general practice:
General practice is the provision of primary continuing comprehensive whole-patient medical care to individuals, families and their communities.
We provide a range of services for general practitioners, practice managers and practices nurses. In addition we assist with linkages between general practice and other health providers.

Don’t miss the PNIP February payment. Protect the continuity of service your practice provides its patients. Practices must register by Tuesday 31st January to receive the first payment - payments will not be backdated. Registration with the PIP incentive does not roll over - your practice must register for the PNIP. There are two weeks left to register for the Practice Nurse Incentive Program (PNIP) and ensure your practice receives the first payment in February 2012. Application forms are available on Medicare’s website to download and fill in. These applications will be assessed from 1st January 2012. PNIP payments for eligible practices will be made in February, May, August and November each year. The first payment in February 2012 will cover the one month of January.
