- Thank you to Gary for this e-mail (one of several received about Wednesday's coverage of AccuRx—several others pointed out that the abbreviation 'Rx' means 'prescription' or 'treatment'):
“Accurx is collecting structured QOF data. It sends a patient a text which contains a survey link. As soon as a patient responds to the survey, the practice gets notification. One doctor confided:
‘I have used it for the last 2 weeks by sending out 50+ texts. I can see it has clawed in approximately £2,000 of QOF monies.’
In case you are not aware, QOF is quality of outcomes framework money. It's a sort of bonus for hitting targets. Each QOF point is worth £194.83. Total points = 567. Blimey, that's £110,468.61. That not a bad little bonus, is it.”
