HYP011 - Hypertensive, age 80+, no frailty BP 150/90 mmHg or less (or equivalent)
The codes referenced in this article are taken from the NHS Technology Reference Update Distribution (TRUD). Not all of these may be present or selectable in all clinical systems.
The information contained within this article is from version 51 of the Business Rules for Quality and Outcomes Framework (QOF).
Indicator definition
Indicator ID | Description |
HYP011 | The percentage of patients with hypertension, aged 80 years or over, without moderate or severe frailty in whom the last blood pressure reading (measured in the preceding 12 months) is 150/90 mmHg or less, (or equivalent home blood pressure reading). |
What do the business rules mean?
What makes a patient eligible?
Patients are eligible for the HYP011 denominator if they are on the Hypertension register and are at least 80 years old with no moderate or severe frailty.
How to achieve the indicator
To meet the criteria for HYP011, eligible patients must have met one of the following requirements:
- a latest blood pressure measured in clinic (ie: one that is not ambulatory or home-based) that was at most 150/90mmHg
- a latest blood pressure which was from an ambulatory test that was at most 145/85mmHg
- a latest blood pressure measured at home by the patient that was at most 145/85mmHg
What will remove patients from eligibility?
- Patients who have been coded as receiving maximal blood pressure therapy in the contract year
- Patients for whom Hypertension quality care was unsuitable in the contract year
- Patients who chose not to have their blood pressure recorded or undertake home blood pressure or ambulatory blood pressure monitoring
in the contract year - Patients who chose not to receive hypertension quality indicator care in the contract year
- Patients who have been invited twice (at least 7 days apart) for review with no subsequent blood pressure reading
- Patients whose most recent BP reading in the contract year was followed by two invites at least 7 days apart (ie: a raised result which needs re-checking)
- Patient who were diagnosed with hypertension in the last 9 months of the contract year
- Patients who were newly registered with the practice in the last 9 months of the contract year
If a patient achieves the
indicator at any point during the year, any exclusions that have also been
added are ignored.
What are the common pitfalls/what do I need to watch out for?
Separately coded systolic and diastolic values (especially for a clinic based reading) may not be counted towards the indicator.
- Ensure all clinicians are aware of the coding requirements.
- Ensure all clinicians are aware of the blood pressure target thresholds and their impact on the indicator, especially towards the end of the contract year.
