Practices manage the delivery
of key NHS objectives

Use cases
Health Inequalities - Automated data extracts have helped public health nurses target
children missing MMR vaccinations, seeing a rise in vaccination rates from 80 to over
95% - London
Improving management of long-term conditions - GP practices across East London and
the City have improved diabetic control, with a 6-7 improvement in the recording of blood
tests across the borough since implementing a call and recall programme
Improving efficiency - Quarterly reporting and data collection for NHS Health Checks take
90% less time for NHS Stoke on Trent.
Measuring performance against targets - In real-time, CCGs in London have built
searches to see the immediate impact of specific initiatives like call and recall rates, rather
than using out-of-date QOF data.
Optimised medications - Deliver more responsive, cost-effective care by using data
extracts to identify and reduce prescribing waste spent on high-cost drugs, and target highcost patients..

EMIS – CCG journey
How EMIS can help
 Some use cases required specialist technical authoring
skills and clinical validation of templates, concepts,
protocols and searches that work in tandem to provide a
service eg Health Checks
 Where these skills are not available locally, EMIS
trainers, EMIS IQ and EMIS Clinical Support Unit can
often provide the necessary expertise to develop local
solutions:
 Smoking cessation – Surrey
 Health checks – Cheshire
 Appropriate use of anticoagulants by people with AF – Oxford
PCRN
Risk stratification
Why choose our risk stratification tool?
• Proactively identifies the risk of unplanned hospital admission for any
patient aged 18-100 years using a clinically validated and peer-reviewed
algorithm, developed for use in the UK.
• IG compliant. Patients are identifiable to practices but anonymous to
CCGs (unless data sharing agreements are in place).
• Uses primary care data and so does not rely on - but can be linked to secondary care data feeds.
• Calculations are run within EMIS Web so patient information does not
need to be extracted from GPs’ clinical systems.
• Takes account of location and deprivation to tailor the score for local
use.
• Supports CCGs in health service planning and commissioning.
• Supports GPs in targeting high and medium risk patients, for modifying
their risk factors and care planning.
