Reporting Tab in Clinical Audit

The QOF Reporting tab in Clinical Audit relates to the nGMS audits:

  • Registration - Current Registration Status, along with the ODS or National Code.
  • Monthly QMAS - This lets you view QOF/QAIF reports.

Sending QOF/QAIF Reports

Reports submit automatically to your country specific system (England - GPES, Wales - CMWeb and Northern Ireland - PCAS):

  • For monthly reporting, the baseline date is the first day of the month.
  • The reference date in monthly reporting is fixed to the end of the current financial year.
  • National Prevalence Day report is part of the submission at the end of the QOF/QAIF year.

Viewing Results on the QOF Reporting tab

Once a monthly or year end the QOF/QAIF report generates, you can check the QOF/QAIF Report submission:

  1. From Clinical Audit, on the QOF Reporting tab, select Monthly - View Results. The XML Viewer displays the figures for the submitted report.
  2. The denominator figures display as blue lines and the indicator figures as white or yellow lines. The month the report was run, reference and baseline dates also display:

  3. Scroll to the right of the screen to make sure that last month is in the far right column and displays a status of Acknowledged:
    • If the status is Submitted, then your reporting system has your report but has not yet acknowledged it.
    • If the status is still Submitted 24 hours later or Rejected, you should contact the Service Desk, see Contacting Us for Support for details.
  4. Right click and select Print to print the report.
Note - View Results displays the last submission, which is usually the last month’s figures, or in the case of the catch-up reports, all the months’ figures from 1st April (1st October in Wales) up to the last full month.
