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 />

indicators<br />

• an awareness of the ten disease areas in the clinical domains<br />

• an understanding of numerators and denominators and the various exception<br />

codes<br />

• an awareness of ongoing monitoring and interventions<br />
