agree with George, most local initiatives are pretty uselessly
evaluated, and require relevant expertise
our commissioning group has tried marketing a -quality alert form- for
GPs to comment on when problems arise
difficulties getting GPs to use them (let alone acknowledge they've ever
seen them)
patients not being given sick notes and inadequate/late discharge info
the main culprits
useful for providing data to back up your arguments in negotiation with
trust
we also commissioned a piece of qualitative work based on interviews
with a sample of
GPs to be carried out by a researcher from the FACT (Framework for
appropriate care throughout sheffield) team; the GPs were surprisingly
non-critical of the secondary care services; surprised me anyway :-)
