Written by Maddie Grant   
HPV Signage at front of building

Ten years ago HPV started out with a team of three people, a limited budget and wide ranging mandate under an amendment to the Health Services Act 1988. Our aim at the time was to assist health services in Victoria with collective tendering to achieve best value. As we celebrate our tenth birthday, what better time to look at ten of the ways in which we have assisted health services and what we intend to do going into our next ten years?

HPV Commences Victorian Product Catalogue Implementation
Written by Maddie Grant   

HPV is pleased to announce that the development and implementation of the Victorian Product Catalogue (VPC) has begun.

The tender for our VPC Technology Partner has been awarded to Bizcaps Pty Ltd. They will work with HPV and Victorian hospitals and health services to deliver a service that will synchronise health product information between the National Product Catalogue (NPC), the VPC and Victorian hospitals and health services.

Currently, Victoria’s hospitals and health services operate independent catalogues using different systems, therefore the VPC is an important tool to ensure that we have access to product data that is both current and consistent across the state.

HPV appreciates the support we’ve received to date from Victorian hospitals and health services, the Department of Health, NeHTA and GS1. The VPC analysis and due diligence has been comprehensive and we now look forward to working with all these stakeholders during the implementation.
