  5. Why a CHD Audit • National Service Framework for CHD • MAAG priority • Each of the 6 PCGs had made CHD a priority for their clinical governance agenda • An annual MAAG audit • CHD SQA and Health Promotion requirements are satisfied by participation in MAAG audits

  6. CHD AuditFrom the Beginning • Agree the team • Find the Evidence • Agree the audit criteria • Decide which Read codes to use • Write the queries • Put queries through Query Manager • Send out to the 62/88 Oxfordshire practices with MIQUEST software installed

  7. CHD Audit – Next Time! • We intend to consult far more widely about: • Clinical criteria • Read codes used • Format of feedback • We will document our decisions and give clearly written and precisely described instructions to Query writers • We will be careful to avoid making assumptions

  8. MIQUEST Unravelling the mysteries • What can and cannot be done with MIQUEST • Can do almost everything we ask of it in terms of collecting clinical data • Cannot tell us how or what to ask • Planning, consulting, checking and then checking again absolutely vital

  13. All you need • Knowledge of clinical systems • Audit experience • Read code knowledge • Medical backup

  14. Process • Specify requirements • Create query definitions • Write queries

  15. Specify requirements

  16. Specify requirements • Iterative process • Start with existing audit • Reduce to set of questions • How many patients have …? • Of these how many also have …? • Do they have a record of …? • When was the last …? • How many have a raised …? • Specify the Read codes • Consultation

  17. Specify the Read codes

  18. Specify the Read codes • Initial specification • Start from PRIMIS query sets • Clinical consensus • Different ways to code conditions • Different systems • PRIMIS Clinical Advisory Group

  19. Specify the Read codes • Need codes for each • diagnosis • treatment • medication • Require codes for • each version of Read codes • any local or system specific codes

  20. Create query definitions • Identify the subsets required • Query for each type of data • Specify selection criteria • Decide on output and therefore style • Subset • Analyse • Report • Specify the output

  21. Styles of HQL query • SUBSET • Selects a sub-population for future analysis or reporting • ANALYSE • Counts patients or records meeting selection criteria • Can count in bands (e.g. by Age, Sex) • REPORT • Extracts selected data about patients in a sub-population • Allows more detailed subsequent analysis

  22. Writing queries • Create new set for each disease area • New query for each • Subset • Condition • Add selection criteria as specified • Add the output • Quality assurance and piloting

  23. Feedback Software Lynne Wright PRIMIS Information Manager

  24. Creating a Rush feedback spreadsheet

  25. Structure • Rush Import directory on local hard drive • Containing: • RushImport ini file • Response import ini file • Rush template in the template directory of Microsoft office • Directory of aggregated responses
