GP corporate giant Healius says it cannot guarantee the privacy of patients whose information is released under the revamped Practice Incentive Program because it has no way of knowing what is being taken from practice software.

Last week marked the beginning of the PIP quality improvement (QI) incentive, where practices can generate funding of up to $50,000 per year for sharing de-identified patient data.
