MEASUREMENT FOR 75+ YEARS HEALTH ASSESSMENT

An Example of Measuring Success with increasing 75+ years health assessments within your practice

Practice X has 600 active male and female patients aged 75 years and over. CAT4 analysis identifies that 200 males and females have not attended a 75+ years health assessment in the last 12 months.

Numerator: The number of male and female patients aged over 75 years with 3 or more visits in the previous 2 years who have not had a 75+ years health assessment in the last 12 months.

Denominator: The number of active male and female regular clients aged over 75 years on our database.

[Numerator of 200] ÷ [Denominator of 600] = 30%

Practice X then decides as a QI activity to undertake a data cleansing and improvement activity for 75+ years health assessments. The goal is to increase the 75+ years health assessment rate by 10%. Results will be reviewed after a 3 month period.
