Important update for practices using Primary Sense: New Data Sharing and Software License Agreement (DSL) requirements
The Digital Health Team at Brisbane South PHN wishes to advise that there is a new Primary Sense Data Sharing and Software License Agreement (DSL). The new agreement will need to be signed by all practices who have Primary Sense.
It is important to note that the new DSL does not change how Primary Sense operates, the kind of data it extracts, or the purposes for which the data can be used. It does clarify some definitions and processes, simplifies terms, and removes duplication and ambiguity.
The new DSL will be sent to practices via DocuSign. Upon finalisation of the new DSL by both your practice and Brisbane South PHN, the previous version of the document will be terminated.
If you have any questions about the new DSL, please contact the Digital Health team via support@bsphn.org.au or phone 07 3864 7520.
Why is a new Primary Sense DSL required?
The new DSL agreement helps to ensure:
- compliance with changes in Consumer Legislation
- transparency regarding the practical ways the software is implemented
- future variations can be implemented more easily and transparently, such as using electronic processes, with a clear notice and opt-out procedure for practices
