Supporting Quality Outcomes<br />
<strong>PRIMIS</strong> <strong>Facilitator</strong> <strong>Handbook</strong><br />
Calculations<br />
The calculations within the Quality and Outcomes Framework require an understanding of<br />
which patients or groups of patients are included in denominator and numerator populations for<br />
each indicator. This is explained through practical examples.<br />
Action Planning<br />
The training is summarised through the development of an action plan identifying where the<br />
information facilitator may influence or help practices target issues around disease registers,<br />
patient monitoring, exceptions and organisational issues.<br />
The tools and resources available to help with this process, such as the <strong>PRIMIS</strong> Data Quality<br />
query set and CHART, are also discussed.<br />
Learning Objectives<br />
The training will provide information facilitators with:<br />
• an understanding of the implications of the Quality and Outcomes Framework<br />
• an understanding of the key terminology contained in the Quality and Outcomes<br />
Framework<br />
• an understanding of the structure, process and outcomes for each of the clinical<br />
