How does data get into QMAS?
• Clinical achievement data is sent automatically on a monthly basis from GMS Certified GP clinical systems to QMAS. Practices are able to send ad-hoc or interim clinical achievement reports as frequently as they wish. • Non-clinical information (the Yes/No organisational, patient experience and additional services indicators) are added by the practice via a user-friendly web browser interface within QMAS accessed over NHSnet on a practice PC (personal computer). Note – Arrangements have to be made for the manual entry of data for practices without access to QMAS (e.g. non-computerised practices). • Certain practice details, including practice name, national practice id, GMS/PMS status, practice list size and additional service opt-outs are supplied to QMAS from PMSPS in order to allow the correct calculations to be made. Top Does QMAS store any other data? Yes. QMAS also stores individual practice list sizes and data for national disease prevalence. These are required to calculate pay
