QOFcountdown

QOFcountdown is an established Vision extension that allows Vision practices to maximise the financial benefits of the nGMS contract. It provides sophisticated financial analysis with numerical and graphical interpretation of your data.

QOFcountdown is already in use in many Vision practices in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland and is fully endorsed by INPS.

QOFcountdown - for all Vision practices

Whether you are already doing well, or think you can improve your position from previous years, QOFcountdown makes it easier for you to target your activities where they are most cost-effective.

The software is presented as a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet and has extensive automation built in to make it easy for you to use as a daily work tool - no Excel skills needed at all, just the ability to open the file and click a button.

QOFcountdown takes data directly from Vision Clinical Audit. It automatically shows your progress in numerical and graphical formats and allows sophisticated analysis of your financial position. The full assessment takes account of practice size and the latest national and practice disease prevalence figures.

Features

• Any apparent anomaly in your prevalence rates is highlighted so that your registers can be checked.
• Your 3rd worst clinical domain (which sets your holistic score) is also highlighted, as is the clinical domain with the most scope for financial improvement, so that you can exert extra effort in these areas too.
• All the clinical domains each have a page of analysis. Any underperforming indicators are highlighted and the deficit is costed at prevalence-adjusted rates, to help you decide where to focus your efforts.
• The 'pounds per patient' rate is also calculated to indicate where improvements are most cost-effective.
• Coloured graphs show your progress over time. These are broken down by clinical domain and individual indicator. There are also charts showing organisational, total clinical and total points progression.
• NEW in QOFCountdown 5 (now available): QOFcountdown can now retrieve the names and other details of patients corresponding to each Indicator, as Negatives, Numerator, Denominator, or Register, AND, by clicking on a name, you can open that patient record directly in Consultation Manager
