PSP: Effective, sustainable panel management

Feb 24, 2025

Our Panel Support Program (PSP) can support you with developing and maintaining your panel processes to ensure they are effective and sustainable.

Through this program, a Health Information Coordinator (HIC) and/or our Quality Improvement Consultant can:

  • Help you develop a standardized, formalized process for paneling in your clinic
  • Provide you with resources to make panel processes sustainable
  • Assist you with CII/CPAR onboarding if you have not already joined

If you choose to join the new Primary Care Physician Compensation Model (PCPCM), having accurate and well-maintained EMR data will help ensure your panel size is as accurate as possible.

PCPCM panel sizes are primarily determined through monthly automatic EMR uploads to CII/CPAR. The PCPCM panel size determination process is not managed or evaluated by our PCN.

Please note: Your PCPCM panel size may vary from your EMR panel due to:

  • Out-of-province patients (included in CPAR panel but not PCPCPM)
  • Unresolved CII/CPAR conflict reports (patients assigned in CPAR to more than one primary care physician) or demographic mismatches

The PSP is an excellent facilitated service to help you develop a process for maintaining accurate panel data and managing incoming conflict reports.

Additional information about our PSP is available on its dedicated web page, along with a PSP toolkit.

Questions about:

  • Any PCPCM panel size discrepancies can be directed to eHealth Services Provider Support (call 1.855.643.8649 between 8:15 am and 4:30 pm, Monday – Friday, or email [email protected])
  • The PCPCM, in general, can be submitted to the AMA through their web form

To learn more about participating in the PSP, please contact your Physician Liaison.
