QOF contains four main domains which include areas relating to Clinical, Organisational, Additional Services and Patient Experience. Each domain consists of a set of achievement measures, known as indicators.
2012/13 QOF measured achievement against 140 indicators; practices score points on the basis of achievement against each indicator, up to a maximum of 1000 points.
An important feature of QOF is the establishment of disease registers. While it is recognised that these may not be 100% accurate, it is the responsibility of the practice to demonstrate that it has systems in place to maintain a high quality register.
The QOF gives an indication of the overall achievement of a surgery through the points system. Practices aim to deliver high quality care across a range of areas for which they score points. Therefore the higher the score, the higher the financial reward for the practice.
