4 Release Notes - April 2006
The
fourth release of the ePFIP service in April 2006 includes
the following changes:
Practice
Prescribing Report (PPR)
The Practice
Prescribing Report has been discontinued because most of its
information is available in either the Prescribing Analysis
Report or the Prescribing Monitoring Document. Its graphs
'Trends in Prescribing Volume and Cost for your Practice'
and 'Comparison of Cost/ASTRO-PU' are now available within
the Prescribing Analysis Report.
Prescribing
Analysis Report
The Prescribing
Analysis Report has been amended to include the graphs ‘Trends
in Prescribing Volume and Cost for your Practice’ and
‘Comparison of Cost/ASTRO-PU’ that were previously
available in the Practice Prescribing Report.
The
'Trends in Prescribing Volume and Cost for your Practice'
graphs shows Cost and Items for the Practice for the last
13 months for monthly reports and the last 8 quarters for
quarterly reports.
The
'Comparison of Cost/ASTRO-PU' graph shows the total cost per
ASTRO-PU for the Practice, its parent PCT and England for
the last 13 months for monthly reports and the last 8 quarters
for quarterly reports.
The
Prescribing Analysis Report has also been enhanced to show
a breakdown of List Size information for each GP within the
Practice.
Practice
Detailed Prescribing Information (PDPI) Report
The
PDPI system has been enhanced to show prescribing by GP Registrar/Trainees
and by Locums.
There
is a new 'Prescribing Type' option on the PDPI Data Selector
that can restrict the PDPI report to only contain prescribing
by Trainees/GP registrars or Locum/Deputising Services.
PCT
Access
Access
to the PCT reports is still only available via the NHS Net
connection.
