#48 PCIT Gems: Wondering about QOF at this time of year?

Wondering about QOF at this time of year?

Thank you to so many of you who joined our webinar on Friday. We had a great turnout with many questions asked. If you missed the webinar or would like to watch again, please see the recording here. Remember to share with your colleagues!

Weekly Hints and Tips

This week we are focusing on QOF. Our recent webinar, led by our clinical team, included many helpful hints and tips. Below are a handful of questions asked during the webinar:

VI003, VI002 and VI001 are not updating, so no new children are being shown on our lists. Reported months ago and it is still not sorted. Is this a known problem?
Is there a code to use for patients needing cancer care review but are in hospital for a long period so we have been unable to complete it?
Is there any PCA for cholesterol 001?
Why is lipid lowering therapy declined not acceptable?

If you are a PCIT subscriber, we are currently updating the 004 GP Contract Pro searches folder to v3.4. If you would like to put in a priority request, please submit a support ticket.

If you are not yet a PCIT subscriber and are interested, please get in touch to book a demo.

We have noticed that there is an issue with the OneTemplate with some EMIS sites. We have pushed out a fix to sites which should solve the issue. This was causing problems with the template crashing when loading patients who had diabetes. If you are still having issues with the template please run through the instructions to clear your cache:

EMIS Web crashing?

ByBrandon Crisp April 16, 2021April 16, 2021

We are sure you’ve seen the email from EMIS about issues with their system. Some of our users have already been reporting issues with EMIS crashing when trying to launch templates. As you can see this is a known issue with EMIS which has been acknowledged and is being actioned. Primary Care IT are doing everything we can to look for workarounds or alternative ways of using the system to try to mitigate the impact. We have started the rollout of 2021/22 OneResults and OneMonitoring which will give practices access to everything QOF related. In the meantime, we suggest that every time an issue is encountered you report this to EMIS so that they understand the impact this is having. You can do this through EMIS Now: https://www.emisnow.com/csm

Good News!

ByBrandon Crisp May 25, 2021

We’re really pleased that the recent EMIS update seems to have fixed the issues that some users were experiencing with launching templates including our OneTemplate. This should mean that all users can now load this without any issues. We’ve been busy in the background creating a very much slimmed down version of the template, so if anyone is still having issues then please drop us a support ticket https://support.primarycareit.co.uk/portal/en-gb/newticket and we can install this for you.
