Following the establishment of the Nottinghamshire PCT Cluster and the development of closer working across County and City Contracting Teams it has been agreed to develop an integrated approach to the QOF review, assessment and pre payment verification processes for 2011/12. All practices will have received a QOF Process letter in October 2011 (see page 26). This guidance below provides further explanation of the various processes outlined in the letter.
The main changes to previous processes are: -
• No QOF assessment practice visits
• All practices will self assess for organisational indicators
• Revised pre payment verification process
These documents accompany the appendix in the QOF management guide volume 4.
