  4. Aspiration & Achievement • Money in advance for equipment and staff • Aspiration payment • In advance monthly • Rising as you aspire higher and = 1/3 total • Reward dependent on level of achievement • Over-achievement paid in full

  5. Clinical Organisational Patient experience Additional services and linkage payments Holistic care - clinical Quality practice - organisational 50 bonus points for access target achievement additional to the Q&O Framework The four domains of quality

  6. Balance of 1000 Points • Clinical 550 • Organisational 184 • Additional services 36 • Patient experience 100 • Holistic care 100 • Quality practice 30

  7. CHD and LVD Hypertension DM Stroke or TIA Hypothyroidism Epilepsy Asthma COPD Mental health Cancer Clinical Areas

  8. Organisational Areas • Records and information • Communicating with patients • Education and training • Clinical and practice management • Medicines management

  9. Breadth v Depth • Holistic care payments • across clinical domain • performance in 3rd lowest area • Quality practice payments • across other three domains

  10. Principles • Evidence-based • Indicators fair • Clinical indicators are measurable • Not disruptive to consultation

  11. CHD - the biggest marker set - 101 points • register • patients with newly diagnosed angina who are referred • patients with record of smoking • patients who have been offered smoking cessation advice • patients with record of BP • patients with BP < 150/90 • patients with record of cholesterol • patients with total cholesterol < 5 • patients on anti-platelet therapy or anti-coagulant • patients on beta blocker • patients on ACE inhibitor • patients with influenza immunisation

  12. Exception Reporting– you don’t have to count them if… • Patients refuse to attend three times • New patients or recently diagnosed • It is not clinically appropriate • They have given informed dissent • They cannot tolerate medication / therapy • They are taking the maximum medication • They have another supervening condition • Secondary care service not available

  13. High Trust Reporting • Data entry as you see patients • Audit data generated by normal workload • Annual report on computer • Almost no claim forms to fill in • Very little paperwork • Visit from PCO to verify annual report • Appeals if you think PCO is unfair

  14. Quality: Preparation & Delivery • Preparation payments 2003/6 - £3000 per ave. GP • Count data for all the markers you can • Decide where you are • Decide how high you wish to aspire • Discuss this with PCO • Receive aspiration payment monthly • Do the work • Receive achievement payment at standards achieved

  15. INDICATOR register of patients smoking status smoking advice BP recorded in last 9 months BP < or = 150/90 COVERAGE POINTS yes/no 9 25-90% 10 25-90% 10 25-90% 20 25-70% 56 Quality points : hypertension

  16. Smoking status - BP2 • No on register = 100 • Smoking status recorded = 70 • Exception reported = 10 • No on register after exceptions = 90 • Achievement = 70/90 = 77.78%

  17. Smoking status - Achievement • Points for 90% threshold = 10 • There is also a minimum achievement threshold of 25% • Practice points achieved = (77.78-25)/(90-25) x 10 = 0.812 x 10 • Therefore achievement = 8.12 points

  18. Information Management & Technology • Vital • Existing systems can cope • Guidance on Read codes

  19. Key Elements in quality CDM • Systems for those with current and future disease • Team approach – who involved • Disease Registers • Accurate identification of patients • Identifying data • Strategies for finding patients • Which model of care • Holistic approach • Call and recall systems • Evidence based interventions

  20. Some Issues • Points will be important • Some hard to get • Team work • Admin support • Working smarter • Data extraction from outside sources • Tight registers • Systematic approach
