Indicator definition

Indicator ID

Description

The percentage of patients with schizophrenia, bipolar affective disorder and other psychoses who have a record of blood pressure in the preceding 12 months.

What do the business rules mean?

What makes a patient eligible?

Patients are eligible for the MH003 denominator if:
  1. they are on the Mental Health register (ie: have a diagnosis of psychosis, schizophrenia bipolar affective disorder)
  2. the most recent code relating to the diagnosis does not indicate that the patient is in remission

How to achieve the indicator

To meet the criteria for MH003, eligible patients must have:
  1. a blood pressure recorded within the QOF year 

What will remove patients from eligibility?

  1. Patients for whom mental health quality indicator care was unsuitable in the contract year
  2. Patients who chose not to have their blood pressure recorded in the contract year
  3. Patients who chose not to receive mental health quality indicator care in the contract year
  4. Patients who have been invited twice (at least 7 days apart) for review
  5. Patients who were diagnosed with mental health in the last 3 months of the contract year
  6. Patients who were newly registered with the practice in the last 3 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.
