Unhealthy Behaviours QI (NHS Wales)

We have introduced the Unhealthy Behaviours QI (NHS Wales) pathway to assist you in monitoring unhealthy behaviours in both newly registered patients and patients with specific long-term or chronic conditions.

The unhealthy behaviours being monitored are:

• Obesity / High BMI

• High Risk Alcohol Intake

• Tobacco Use

Patients with the following long-term or chronic conditions are being monitored:

• Diabetes

• Cardiovascular Disease:

  • Stroke

  • Heart Failure

  • Ischaemic Heart Disease

  • Atrial Fibrillation

• Hypertension

• Asthma

• Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

The Unhealthy Behaviours QI (NHS Wales) pathway displays alerts for patients where monitoring is required.

Using the Unhealthy Behaviours QI (NHS Wales) pathway, you can also:

• Open the Clinical Template to easily add appropriate SNOMED CT codes to a patient's record, see Accessing the Unhealthy Behaviours QI (NHS Wales) Clinical Template for details.

• Run a Practice Report to view patients in your practice that require monitoring, see Running the Unhealthy Behaviours QI (NHS Wales) Practice Reports for details.
