004B Routine QOF work | * Indicator Navigator | Atrial Fibrillation
Atrial Fibrillation
This folder helps practices identify patients with Atrial Fibrillation where QOF-related actions may still be needed to meet indicators AF006 (stroke risk assessment) and AF008 (anticoagulation for high-risk patients). The searches are designed for use throughout the year and are especially valuable during the final months of QOF.
🔍 [AF008] One invitation sent
AF patients who have received one invitation to discuss anticoagulation. Sending a second invitation will allow these patients to be exception-reported if they do not attend.
🔍 [AF008] Two invitations sent
AF patients who have received two invitations but are not on anticoagulation. These patients can now be exception-reported under AF008 if no further engagement occurs.
🔍 AF with no CHA2DS2-VASc
AF patients with no recorded CHA₂DS₂-VASc score. These patients are not eligible for achievement under AF006 until the risk score is added.
🧾 QUICK WIN CODING | AF008 on warfarin but reason not coded
Patients with raised stroke risk scores (CHA₂DS₂-VASc ≥2) who are on warfarin but do not have an exception code. Review these cases to code a justification for warfarin treatment (as opposed to being on a DOAC).
🧾 REVIEW | AF008 with CHADS2VASC raised but no DOAC
Patients with raised stroke risk scores (CHA₂DS₂-VASc ≥2) who are not on anticoagulation and do not have an exception code. Review these cases to either start treatment or code a valid exception.
