Population Reporting searches for EMIS, created by the CDRC can be used identify patients in your practice who may have Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD).
Accessing the Population Reporting Searches
Until recently, CDRC’s EMIS Population Reports have been made available to access directly from the CDRC website. However, this has meant that there is no way of ensuring that they are being used appropriately and updated as necessary, representing a risk.
You can still access these reports directly from the CDRC team by emailing contact-cdrc@healthinnovationnenc.org.uk ; a member of the CDRC team will be able to provide access to the required reports and any ongoing support.
We endeavour this to be a short-term solution as CDRC are working on a comprehensive support suite, which in the long-term will benefit GP practices using these resources, by providing a more in depth & ongoing support system.
Population Reporting Guidance:
The PAD reports identify patients who may not be appropriately coded or may benefit from medication initiation. We advise that you review the list of patients and add the appropriate disease code to ensure the patient is reviewed and managed appropriately. We do not recommend that you initiate medication without a review of the patients medical history.
