quality and outcomes framework results

The national Quality and Outcomes Framework was introduced on 1 April 2004. Its purpose is to encourage and reward practices for the provision of quality health care. Although voluntary, most practices take part in the annual QOF.

The current QOF has four main components called 'domains'. Each domain consists of a set of measures or indicators against which practices score points. Although the QOF has been revised several times since it was introduced, it awards points for things like

Clinical care: managing some of the most common chronic diseases such as asthma, cancer, coronary heart disease, diabetes, etc.
Organisation: managing medicines, patient records and the practice in general, productivity, staff training, etc.
Patient Experience: length of consultations
Additional Services: cervical screening, child health surveillance, contraceptive and maternity services

Practices are paid for each point achieved in the QOF.

More detailed information regarding the QOF can be found at the QOF website. Enter Bar Hill or D81078 when searching for the results from our practice.
