-
Choose whether to report all prescribing
for the practice or just items prescribed
and dispensed by the practice
-

a detailed listing of costs and items
or a summary report comparing the practices

year and with the local PCT
-

Prescribing
Analysis Report
The Prescribing Analysis Report is based
on the old paper PACT Standard Report and
contains an analysis of the prescribing
which has taken place for the practice during
the reporting period. It is produced automatically
at both a monthly and quarterly level.
The
report shows the total level of prescribing,
a breakdown of prescribing in the 6 highest
cost BNF Therapeutic Groups, the top 20
leading cost drugs in the practice and the
top 40 BNF Sections by cost in the practice.
The
practice prescribing is also compared with
last year's level and with the PCT and National
levels.
Prescribing
Review
Each quarter the PPD produces an article
discussing national guidance, recent clinical
trials and prescribing trends for a specific
area of prescribing. These articles are
available on the PPD website at
http://www.epact.ppa.nhs.uk/ppa/download_pdf.htm#prescreview
The
Prescribing Review is a one page report
which shows the prescribing performance
of the practice for the specific drug groupings
that are the subject of each quarter's article.
The practice prescribing costs and items
are also shown in comparison with the local
PCT equivalent values.
The
Prescribing Review and its associated article
replace the old 4-page Centre Pages report
that was contained within the PACT Standard
report.
Prescribing
Monitoring Document (PMD)
The Prescribing Monitoring Document provides
financial information about prescribing
costs against budgets. It shows the cost
of prescribing, to enable you to manage
the drugs element of your unified budgets.
The report includes the same information
as the old paper version, with the addition
of charts and comparative analysis. |
