Updated disease prevalence from the Quality and Outcomes Framework

by

A number of specific diseases and medical conditions are measured within the Quality and Outcomes Framework (QOF) within primary care. As part of the General Medical Services contract implemented in 2004, QOF was set out as a means for general practices to measure achievement against a set of clinical and other indicators that reflected the quality of care provided to their patients. A national system was established to support the calculation of GP practice payments according to the achievements against QOF.

There are a number of indicators around establishing a register of patients with specific conditions, and these indicators can be used to provide an estimate of the prevalence of the recorded levels of diagnosed disease.

The latest information for the 2023/24 financial year has been published. Further information can be found within a Local Analysis of the Quality and Outcomes Framework Data which is available under Tools and Resources.

The diagnosed prevalence (and any statistically significant association between the prevalence and average age of patients or average deprivation score of patients) is given within the relevant disease and medical condition under Health Factors within Adults or in the case of learning disabilities and mental ill health under Vulnerable Groups.

Problems with Fingertips

by

There is currently a problem with the Office for Health Improvement & Disparities’ Fingertips tool.

We used this extensively on our JSNA website, and this has impacted on the information displayed on our JSNA.

Unfortunately, we have no control over this but they anticipate having this fixed as soon as possible.

Upcoming Changes

by

Click on the header Upcoming Changes above for more details.

Upcoming changes are due for:

  1. Index of Multiple Deprivation 2025 – the new IMD was released on the 30 October 2025. There are many local analyses involving deprivation which use the IMD, and where appropriate these will be updated with the new IMD, although this will take some time to update all pages. Information on the Deprivation and Poverty page has already been updated, but relatively few other pages containing analyses by deprivation.
  2. Causes of Death pages are due to be updated soon following the release of mid-year 2023 and 2024 small area population estimates for Hull and the new Index of Multiple Deprivation 2025.
  3. Information from the Quality and Outcomes Framework which presents the prevalence of specific diagnosed diseases for Hull’s GP practices which can be found on Local Quality and Outcomes Framework, and also on the disease specific pages within Health Factors within Adults.
