One of the main changes to QoF for the current year has been the re-allocation of points. There are now only 661 points available for the Clinical Indicators (down from 697 in 2009/10). Although the total is still 1000 points for the whole QoF, the funding has moved from those areas that are affected by prevalence (clinical indicators) to those that are based purely on the £ per point based on the size of the practice (organisational indicators).
For an average sized practice (5891 patients) this change is reflected like so:
At Oberoi Consulting, we strongly believe that one way of protecting income from the Clinical Indicators is to ensure that your prevalence is as accurate as possible.
