NHS to continue to pay for data quality initiatives

E Health Insider: Verbal agreement on IM&T DES payments: "The DES has four components intended to reward GPs for compliance with National Programme for IT (NPfIT) initiatives. Component one pays 40p per patient to practices that agree a practice plan with their PCT for complying with NPfIT and component two offers 44p per patient for achieving data accreditation in preparation for uploading summary records to the spine. The third component, worth 27p per patient, is paid to practices who regularly validate patients’ addresses and comply with release one of the Electronic Prescription Service. Component four, worth 22 p per patient, can be claimed by practices using a Connecting for Health accredited hosted solution. So far only one system, INPS’s Vision 3 provided by local service provider BT in London, has been approved as a hosted solution."
