Healthcode wins innovation prize
Online technology specialist Healthcode has won IT innovator of the year at the HealthInvestor Awards, which celebrate excellence in the independent healthcare sector.
Judges were impressed by The Private Practice Register (The PPR), its online information hub for the independent sector.
Vernon Baxter, Health- Investor’s managing director, called it a model of best practice among new interoperable platform-based services.
Originally developed to streamline the cumbersome private medical insurance recognition process, the platform connects more than 20,000 practitioners, 300 private hospitals and the major insurers, supporting efficient and secure information-sharing and clinical governance.

Healthcode managing director Peter Connor said: ‘The PPR may be Healthcode’s most ambitious project to date, but we will continue to develop innovative solutions in the interests of healthcare providers and their patients.’
The company was also a short-listed finalist in the technology provider of the year category.
