This page will keep up to date with issues relating to the new GMS contract. Details of new audits & Read codes relevant to collecting data for the quality & outcomes framework will appear here.
InPS Clinical Audits & Guidelines
New Guidelines to support data entry for the New Contract are now available on the InPS website.
The New Contract audits are being regularly updated - see the InPS website for details and check for audit updates prior to running Clinical Audit generation.
As the QMAS audits work from the fixed date of the 1st of April (2008) some of the audit lines will contain no data until we draw nearer to the fixed date. CHD10 for example " eligible patients with CHD currently treated with a B-blocker" for example only looks for eligible patients prescribed a B-blocker in the six moths prior to the cut off date of 1st April so prior to October this will show zero patients.
To help keep track of target progress InPS have included Clinical monitoring audits which work as previously to a cut off date of the end of the previous month. See the excellent help file which accompanies these audits for audit criteria & Read codes.
