004B Routine QOF work | f High risk

This folder highlights patients at increased cardiovascular risk who may be overlooked due to missing current-year data. All patients included have previously recorded elevated values, suggesting ongoing risk, but lack QOF-relevant results this year.

These patients should be prioritised for follow-up to improve clinical outcomes and ensure QOF targets are met.

Warning
The searches have been built to look at the contract year (1st April to 31st March), so it is recommended to run the search WITHOUT a relative run date.
