OXFED QToolset

The QToolset is a Clinical Decision Support and workflow efficiency solution for EMIS Web that ensures clinicians and other practice staff are offering high quality patient care and following best practice and national safety guidance. It includes smart templates, clinical pathways, advanced reporting, and live monitoring of all clinical data as it is recorded.

The OXFED QToolset has been specially customised to meet the needs of OXFED practices.
  • It contains everything in our standard QToolset - a cost-effective solution to save time, maximise income, and improve clinical safety in individual practices. The standard QToolset is already in use in more than half the GP surgeries in Oxfordshire.
  • The OXFED QToolset in addition offers full local customisation including standardised templates, referral forms, clinical pathways and reporting based on local contract requirements for data entry and reporting.

Clinicians benefit as they can save time during consultations, increase practice income with better clinical coding, and improve safety with real-time alerts about potential safety issues as data is typed. Practices using our QToolset frequently receive CQC outstanding ratings due to these advanced safety features.

OXFED benefits as our QToolset Enterprise solution includes standardised templates, referral forms, and clinical pathways that are fully customised for local requirements to ensure member practices are recording data in the same way and submitting referrals using the correct forms. The QToolset includes advanced reporting to assist commissioners with service evaluation and contract management.

Smart templates for long-term conditions that automatically adapt to individual patient requirements helps clinicians follow standardised best practice based upon national or local guidelines easily during consultations.

Advanced reporting is possible as the QToolset ensures high quality data is captured at the point of care.
CCG reports include diagnostic, prescribing, and contract activity and can be combined across multiple practices.
​GP reports include QOF Monitor, clinical safety reports, and financial reports.
All clinical data is monitored as it is typed into EMIS Web to ensure errors in clinical coding are corrected in real-time. This improves efficiency and assists with contract management and accurate service evaluation.
Automatic coding of work that can be claimed as part of an Enhanced Service (or local equivalent) and the use of smart templates to record data saves time and increases practice income.
Regular reports on enhanced service activity make claiming for payments easy and ensures income is not missed.
MHRA safety alerts and important NICE guidance are built into the QToolset and regularly updated to promote best practice and improve clinical safety. Where a potential risk is identified the clinician will be alerted immediately when the error is made.
Poor quality clinical coding is the leading cause of CCGs under-reporting chronic disease prevalence and GP practices missing income. Eligible QToolset subscribers receive free annual Data Validation Reports to identify coding errors affecting prevalence that have been made over the previous year.
"Thank you for your Data Validation Report which we are really impressed with and shows an impressive grasp of the QOF rules and coding.  We found it  extremely useful and it has also highlighted areas where we can develop hints and tips for GPs and our coding staff. We were pleased you honoured your guarantee promptly without fuss in respect of the few patients who genuinely could not be added to the register".
