Which IIF searches should I use to target patients?
Our IIF search folder contains a significant number of searches. For Practices wishing to know which patients to target, we have produced this article to help direct you to the most appropriate search for the indicator.
Reporting searches are designed to look back as far as the previous full day (ie: yesterday). Where work has been done today and you want to see the change in achievement, please use a relative run date set to tomorrow.
Work to do searches update including today's activity, so they can be quickly re-run to view the impact of today's work.

| CVD-01 | IIF Work to do for CVD-01 | {IIF-CVD01} No repeat BP [IIF-CVD01} Repeat BP done but no other action {IIF-CVD01} High BP but incomplete follow up | Population Included Pop Included/Report Pop Included/Report | - |
CVD-02 | NOT NEEDED | Data Quality / IIF-CVD02q. View the report to pick out patients who might be hypertensive based on medication. Use Excel to sort or filter out conditions (CKD/DM/HF) who may also be on antihypertensive medication for these. Then pick out coding such as "Suspected hypertension" and code appropriately. You may then wish to go back and review those with CKD/DM/HF to see if they also have hypertension that needs coding . | ||
