Resource Releases & Updates

Quality and Outcomes Framework (QOF) 2026/27 releases

For our toolset, we’ve released our new set of tools to support practices with QOF this year. This included updates to our OneTemplates, OneMonitoring, Handy Protocols & Searches for our EMIS Web customers. These updates are designed to help practices identify outstanding QOF activity earlier, improve coding accuracy at the point of care, and support clinical teams with new and updated indicator requirements. It also includes support for updated and new indicators.

Together, these updates help practices spot outstanding work earlier, support more consistent coding and reduce avoidable retrospective checking during the QOF year. Find full details below or see our detailed support guide here.

📝 Updated OneTemplates

PCIT Templates support structured clinical review and coding during consultations and long-term condition reviews.

The templates include QOF-specific sections that appear where relevant, helping users identify what needs to be reviewed, recorded or followed up. For 2026/27, template content has been refreshed to reflect updated QOF logic, including asthma age eligibility, COPD register changes, NDH/GDM, obesity indicators, blood pressure targets, diabetes care processes and heart failure four-pillar therapy.

🔎 Updated 004 GP Contract Pro Searches

Our Searches support population-level QOF planning & monitoring. They help identify groups of patients who may need review, coding, invitations, follow-up or further action.

Searches are useful for proactive QOF work because they allow teams to find patients before they attend, plan recalls, review outstanding activity and support managed workflows. Searches are particularly useful for identifying patients who may have missing information, incomplete coding or outstanding QOF activity across a wider cohort.

🧑🏻‍⚕️ Updated OneMonitoring

OneMonitoring has been reviewed against QOF requirements and updated for QOF v51 register changes, frailty handling, obesity, 8 key care processes for diabetes, heart failure 4 pillars care and several indicator pathways. OneMonitoring is most useful when users want a quick view of what may still need attention for the patient. Double-clicking OneMonitoring opens a template with the outstanding indicators shown, making it easier to complete the relevant activity.

🔵 HP345 – Frailty Status and Assessment
🔵 HP449 – Obesity Referral and Eligibility Checker
🔵 HP450 – COPD Register Review Alert

💉 OneLauncher Treatment Room

Our OneLauncher Treatment Room was built to bring together all of our templates for treatment room activities into one place. We suggest that users wishing to access common treatment room activities add the OneLauncher Treatment Room to their F12 protocol launcher. You can also find this linked into your existing OneLauncher Non-Prescriber under “more templates”. Following the initial release of this OneLauncher, we are pleased to confirm this can now live for all customer areas. Between the first launch and now we’ve been working with our customer areas to ensure this is set up best for the ways our different customer areas operate.


📊 New OneAnalytics Platform

Towards the end of 2025 we have launched our updated OneAnalytics portal! What’s new: A modern user interface with improved performance and usability, stronger Security though Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) and Local access management for faster updates and improved control. This has since been updated to reflect QOF/IIF progress for 2026/27.

For further details and support on using the platform, please see our Knowledge Base.

It’s important to note we go into practice systems and update these as frequently as possible. For further information on our searches, click here. See our guide to know the latest changes to our searches here.

Queries about CQC Navigator?
CQC inspection teams use a set of searches which have been designed to help them to understand how a Practice manages their patient population, and to identify clinical situations which should not be happening. To support with this, Primary Care IT has adapted these searches to help practices understand what might need to be addressed before a CQC inspector finds it.

We recommend checking our CQC Navigator FAQ guide here. If you have any questions after reading the article, please raise a ticket with us for support.

How do I raise a support ticket?
If you ever need to contact us for support, the best way to reach us is by creating a support ticket, you can do this here. These tickets are triaged internally and passed to the relevant member of our team to ensure your request or question is answered to the best of our ability.
