QMAS is closing in July 2013 – what you need to know
The Calculating Quality Reporting Service (CQRS) is replacing the Quality Management and Analysis System (QMAS), the system currently used to calculate payments to GPs under the Quality & Outcomes Framework (QOF). While QMAS will be used to calculate QOF achievement for 2012/13, CQRS will be the new system for calculating and reporting on QOF for GP practices across England for the 2013/14 financial year. Registration for training on CQRS is scheduled to open in early January 2013. This letter provides more information on what practices need to do in preparation for QMAS closing down, and CQRS going live. All practices should have received an email from NEPCSA with regard to this but I will reissue as a reminder in eth New Year as it is very important that you register for the local events to understand how this will work.
