Introducing the EMIS
Risk Stratification Tool

New Risk Stratification Tool in EMIS Web for Bromley
QAdmissions Algorithm – designed by GPs in
conjunction with academics
Clinical risk prediction tool
To help ID patients at high risk of unplanned care or
admissions – Vision compatible version being developed
in parallel
Previous Risk Strat Tool ran into problems due to IG
issues and sharing of patient identifiable data – new tool
utilising practice data only and stays within the practice
Anticipated roll out from July 2014
Variables used in the QAdmissions

Interim arrangements

Developing an Interim Risk Strat Tool based
upon the QAdmissions algorithm to be
implemented by April 2014 – whilst EMIS is
completing QAdmissions, CCG interim step as
precursor, to engage GPs in the process
 Clinical Coding Sub-group agreed codes
based upon the algorithm but with local
variables and weighting based on ProMISE
learning
 Key variables weighted, linked to age, gender,
polypharmacy, etc.
 Build and testing the search with our EMIS
support resource ongoing
Interim Risk Tool Variables
Factors used to calculate a score for men and women to ID patients
at risk of an emergency admission.
Patients with a medication review overdue by more than 6 months and
receiving more than 2 acute or repeat medications.
Score out of 5.

Severe psychosis and
Depression; T2dm; ihd;
Af not on warfarin; Ccf
Expected Benefits

Improved patient care
 Reduce GP time spent on unplanned
appointments
 Reduced costs to NHS
 New Unplanned Admissions DES requires
regular risk profiling and proactive care
management. This enhanced service will be
funded using funding from the QP scheme in
QOF (100 points) and the funding from the Risk
Profiling DES.
Operational arrangements
 EMIS
and CCG advice & support
 Practice training
 Fair Processing Notice/Patient
engagement
 Early adopters to test
