Pathology company Healius has started uploading test results to My Health Record again, a week after it was accused of risking patient safety.  

Minister for Health and Aged Care Mark Butler said Healius stopped uploads on 12 September and that there were subsequently three million fewer pathology uploads to My Health Record in September compared with August.  

“This refusal to upload to My Health Record puts patients at increased clinical risk and results in more unnecessary and costly tests for people,” he said.

At the time, Healius — which has a market capitalisation of $900 million — would only say: “We understand the government’s digital health agenda and are talking to the government about the need for sustainable funding arrangements for pathology.
