NICE has put forward the all-in-one QOF diabetes indicator which will require GPs to complete eight process checks every year in order to achieve any points, in its final menu of proposed indicators for the 2015/16 contract.
The wording of the new indicator, NM74, will be: ‘The percentage of patients with diabetes who have had the following care processes performed in the preceding 12 months: BMI measurement, BP measurement, HbA1c measurement, cholesterol measurement, record of smoking status, foot examination, albumin: creatinine ratio; serum creatinine measurement.’
