NHS practices receive a quarterly report from their PCT, outlining how they did for the previous 5 quarters against 22 Key Performance Indicators.
Because they are judged on these KPIs and their performance influences whether they can get additional UDA contracts or payment for their existing contracts, NHS practices need a way to see how they are tracking against the KPIs ahead of time so that they can correct if necessary.
The report does the following:
Produces the same historical data (or very close) as the official report for the statistics that it offers.
Runs for the current period, so that a site can course correct if necessary.
Runs per provider, so the site can zoom in on problems.
Is able to run for the current quarter as well as the previous 5 quarters. The quarter boundaries are:
1st January - 31st March
1st April - 30th June
1st July - 30th September
1st October - 31st December
Runs for the current quarter even if it is not complete. It does not run for future quarters.
It can be scheduled and exported.
EXACT stores the default threshold values as settings, so that they can be updated by the user as required if they change.
Values that exceed the threshold are marked with the Warning "Over".
Values within 10% of meeting the threshold are marked with the Warning "Near".
