007 Prevalence improvement

Introduction

The Prevalence Improvement folder contains 64 reports across 18 QOF disease areas. These have been designed to help identify patients to improve the size of your disease registers. Some reports may result in a simple clinical coding exercise to include a patient in an indicator, while others will require additional work that can benefit your prevalence in the long term.

What do these searches do for me?

We suggest at the outset of using our tools you run these searches and work your way through the output.  Many results are mirrored in our "Possible new diagnosis" tab on the OneTemplate Prescriber, and on the Possible New Diagnosis Protocol Alert if you've chosen to activate this, and also in our OneAnalytics platform.

We won't list every single search here - but for example the AF folder has the following searches contained within it:                                                                                                                                          

We recommend reading the description on each report (in the Details tab) to understand what each search has been looking for.

Sometimes it might be useful to use the Check Patient feature to understand why a patient is appearing in the search. The searches have been put in zSubs folder, but they can also be seen when Full Hierarchy is selected on the ribbon.

Some searches have been separated into two or more to help manage the work by stratifying the results.

Every report contains column labelled "Diagnosis not made:". This is designed to show the most recent information documented through OneTemplate Admin, noting that the patient has been reviewed and what should happen next; sometimes this is to call the patient in for a review, while other times it is to acknowledge that the patient has been reviewed but should not be included in the register.
