Practice Detailed Prescribing Information (PDPI)
PDPI provides data similar to the old paper PACT Catalogue Prescribing Information, however in electronic Prescribing & Financial Information for Practices the exact content of the report is customisable and the user is given the following choices:
- Choose one or more months from up to 24 months of data
- Choose a report for a single prescriber, all prescribers or the whole practice
- Choose a BNF chapter or all chapters
- Choose a level of the BNF at which to report, from Total BNF down to the level of quantity prescribed per presentation
- Choose whether to report all prescribing for the practice or just items prescribed and dispensed by the practice
- Choose the type of report required - with a detailed listing of costs and items or a summary report comparing the practices prescribing with the same period last year and with the local PCT
- Choose ordering by prescriber or BNF
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.
