High Value Patients

High Value Patients are a list of the top 25 patients with outstanding indicators that have a corresponding high points/financial value. These are essentially the patients who, if the surgery calls in and completes the outstanding indicators, are worth more than the average patient. This can be due to the fact that they display on multiple registers or indeed are one of a few patients on a small register, which needs only one more patients to meet the threshold to achieve full points for that indicator.

The High Value Patients list is most useful towards the end of the QOF/QAIF period having the most impact in the last few weeks.
