Can I control what health information is shared? How do I do that?
If you upload a patient’s health information to Inca, Inca will automatically extract elements of the patient’s health information from your clinical desktop software. The information extracted is described in the Inca Information Sheet entitled “Informed Consent: How Inca Collects and Shares Health Information”. You can edit or delete any of this information in Inca prior to sharing it with the care team or the patient.
Most clinical desktop software allows you to set “confidential” flags on a patient’s health information to prevent this information from being extracted by referral templates. If you wish to prevent information being extracted by Inca, you need to set these flags in your patient’s health record. If you do not know how to do this, please contact the provider of your clinical desktop software.
