SPS commentary:
The audit will provide data to highlight gaps, identify inequalities and monitor improvement and impact on inequalities, as well as enabling and guiding opportunities for improvement.
It will generate quarterly, anonymised data at national, regional, PCN and CCG practice level, across a broad range of metrics.
Locally based QI audit tools based on the CVDPREVENT business rule set will enable practices and primary care networks to systematically identify individuals whose clinical risk factors are sub-optimally managed so that they can be offered treatment that will minimise their risk of life changing heart attack or stroke.
