Our Division sought clarification via PIP hotline ... Question: The Security Self Assessment requires practices to use encryption for the electronic transfer of patient information and/or clinical data. Does this mean GPs must not receive unencrypted patient information or clinical data? Answer: To be eligible for the PIP IM/IT Incentive, practices are required to use encryption to send electronic patient information and/or clinical data. Question 10 of the application form asks 'does the practice ....... use encryption for the electronic transfer of all patient information and clinical data'. Question 10 does not seek information about how other health services send clinical data to the PIP practice as this may be outside the control of the PIP practice.
