Not an upside, but a downside in my case. I felt really bad when a patient
had a stroke last week (our first all year) and I realised that my initial
reaction was that we could now claim those points rather than sadness for
how the stroke might effect the patient's future.
That's what QOF does to you :-(

Subject: The upside of QOF
What joy! An elderly patient with four QOF problems in his EMIS pop-up
and no outstanding items to be done, in the second half of March.
Surely we never got this warm glow of satisfaction prior to QOF?
