Accessing the Dashboard

The dashboard can be accessed via the Contracts icon, and selecting the QOF dashboard.



The dashboard will open on the Overview tab by default. This will show your organisations current achievement vs total points available. The contract can be viewed in full using the Overview tab, however you can also use the tabs across the top of the page to view your data and progress by domain.



You will be able to view your data and details of the contract by using one of the following options available:

  • Data - shows QOF achievement in terms of point value.
  • Payment - shows QOF achievement in monetary value.
  • Rules - shows a breakdown of the business rules.
  • Contract - allows access to the contract business rules.


The tabs displaying below this will allow you to see as follows:

  • Data - shows QOF achievement in terms of point value.
  • Payment - shows QOF achievement in monetary value.
  • Rules - shows a breakdown of the business rules.
  • Contract - allows access to the contract business rules.


Within the QOF dashboard you can monitor all QOF domains and indicators from both an 'How am I Driving' and 'End of Year Financial Year' point of view, located at the top right-hand side of the screen.




Data Tab

The Data tab will display QOF achievement in terms of patients and points.


You are able to monitor your percentage achieved, and if you have met the lower or upper threshold:



The Achieved column will indicate by a traffic light system on how your organisation is performing:

  • Red - below points target.
  • Amber - within the lower and upper target.
  • Green - maximum points reached.



The Remaining to Achieve column highlights outstanding patients in terms of points and patients. The column can be sorted by maximum/minimum points left, or points or number of patients. 



The Clinical Activity section will list all reports for each QOF indicator.



The Case Finder section will identify patients missing off the practice disease registers, due to missing or incorrect coding.



The Organisational Activity section allows you to evidence the information needed for Quality Improvement. 



The Domains section shows an overview of performance by each QOF domain.
