012 Audit ready: Overview

Overview

We have created some helpful searches and reports to support auditing more efficient for you and your practice. This set of searches cover a range of topics, some of which have been influenced by Red Whale, with whom we have partnered to produce supporting searches for their seasonal education programmes. The searches and reports can be accessed under the 012 Audit ready folder within population reporting.

The search folder is shown in the below screenshot:

Additional support articles linked below will help you to use these searches and reports to reduce some of the labour intensive data gathering aspects of clinical auditing.

If you have an audit that requires a lot of data gathering from patient records, Primary Care IT may be able to help! Submit a support ticket with the requirements for the development team to review.

Benefits

Our Audit ready searches and reports can help to:

1. Maximise QOF points in a simplified way; these resources have been created to help users maximise their QOF points. However, we have taken into account this is often a lot of work, therefore, we have streamlined the process to make it as efficient as possible to achieve these indicators.
2. Ensure targets and patient care needs are met; the searches and reports are aimed to help you accurately achieve the indicators, whilst also helping practices deliver the care patients need.
3. Save time and effort; the searches and reports are created in a way to provide users with as much relevant information as possible to save looking through individual patient records. The support articles and other training materials will support the user to work through them as efficiently as possible. There is also no need to spend time creating your own searches or reports to support these QOF indicators.
