The 2026/27 QOF changes aren’t just about understanding new indicators – they’re about building the foundations that underpin successful QOF delivery and achievement. You need to ensure the right patients are identified, coded correctly, included on the appropriate registers and supported by robust processes.
Without these foundations, you risk:
- Missing eligible patients
- Inaccurate disease registers
- Missed review opportunities
- Increased workload later in the year
- Compromising QOF prevalence and achievement
QOF Foundations 2026/27 has introduced some significant new building blocks – ensure yours are in place, giving you confidence your registers, recalls and processes are working together:
❤️ Heart Failure (Reduced EF) – Identify patients for the new Heart Failure (Reduced EF) register
⚖️ Obesity Registers – Identify patients eligible for the two new obesity registers
⏱️ Obesity 90-Day Timeline – Build practical workflows to ensure referrals and reviews meet the new 90-day requirements
🔍 New Register Eligibility – Identify patients newly eligible for Asthma, COPD and NDH registers following the 2026/27 QOF changes
📋 Clinical Review Gap Analysis – identify gaps in asthma, diabetes, heart Failure and obesity reviews before they become missed opportunities
👥 Frailty Coding – ensure moderate and severe frailty patients are coded correctly so appropriate exclusions are applied.
📅 Monthly Recall Forecasting – Understand upcoming workload and proactively manage recalls throughout the year.
⚙️ Process Review & Implementation – reduce year-end panic
