current demand - assessing both met and unmet need. Practices
will be encouraged to involve patients in the review process
•
Integration: Each practice will nominate a liaison GP to link to a
liaison person from the new health and social care integration
partnerships
•
Quality: A quality improvement visit will take place at practices
once every three years. Practices will produce an annual quality
programme report

To Sum up…

2014/15 QOF
• Example: A practice in England with an average list size
and prevalence earnings full points for Hypertension earned
about £15 per patient last year. This year, approx. £6.
• As part of the retirement of disease registers, the 20142015 QOF guidance will include a general statement
advising GP practices to continue to appropriately code
diagnoses and provide clinically appropriate lifestyle advice
www.inps.co.uk
General Hints & Tips
• Discuss changes with everyone in the practice
• Agree ethos and practice standards
• Consider how you obtain information (could more be done on
the telephone or captured ad hoc?)
• Share what is happening – include the success (everyone
always moans about QOF!)
• Streamline recalls ? Month of birth
www.inps.co.uk
What INPS tools are available?
• The Business rules were released 28th May
(one or tweaks still required), so we can
now finalise:
– V28 Guidelines which will include the old and the new
indicators (different colours to indicate each)
– Vision+ to incorporate V28 rules
– Clinical Audits v28 for Scotland (Monitoring)

Now is the time to Consider …
• Validating your registers, which includes looking
at your data and Verifying Prevalence rates:
– Clinical Audit - Data Quality Issues
• H/O codes (h/o dementia)
• Diagnostic Codes correctly used & dates entered
• Involve everyone…(summarisers, scanners, clinicians,
managers)
– Analyse your data
• Priority 1 (Patient Preview)
• Pivot tables
• Priority Update
www.inps.co.uk
Considerations..
– DXS Statistics - DXS
– www.gpcontract.co.uk for Prevalence trend data
– Contract Manager – use it as a monitoring tool…

Review your Recalls
– Identify the problem areas
• Multiple and inefficient
recalls
– Involvement
• Who is currently involved,
who should be involved (eg
community, practice staff,
pharmacist)
– Multi-morbidities
• Which co-morbidities
(Clinical Audit, Vision+)
• High risk patients (COPD,
admissions)
– The Process
• Start calling people early
• Invitations and Recalls (what
Read codes are used and
who enters them)
• Appointment availability
• Data recording when the
patient is seen eg Templates
– Evaluation & Benefits
• Audits to evaluate the
effectiveness of the recall
• Less consultations, fewer
visits, ?financial
