Ralph's report on the NDA-QOF differences has been published on the data
quality assurance part of the HSC IC website at
www.ic.nhs.uk/differencesqofnda
Read it - pass it to your trainees and CCG - make sure the CCG Board members
have it to refer to as what will probably become *the* definitive document
on how, starting with the same question about standards of care in General
Practice, - and using the same data, - you can end up with two radically
different assessments!
Very nice explanation of a problem in data management and use.
