A suite of Population Reporting searches for EMIS, created by the CDRC can be used to help improve the care and your patients with respiratory conditions and to identify high risk patients.
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:
To view CDRC’s focused Population Reporting Respiratory searches navigate to the CDRC Quality Respiratory (27th October 2025) folder and open the CDRC Quality Respiratory Focused Reports folder.
The CDRC Quality Respiratory Focused Reports folder contains multiple reports to support the identification, management and optimisation of treatment for respiratory conditions such as Asthma and COPD. There are sub-headers within this folder to make it easier to identify the reports you would like to run.
The Asthma Reports, identifies your existing Asthma patients who require specific actions and/or management. Such as SABA Overuse identifies patients who are potentially overusing their SABA inhaler, you may with to invite these patients in for a review.
The Concordance Alerts reports are available to identify patients with potential poor inhaler concordance.
The COPD Reports, identifies your existing COPD patients who require specific actions and/or management.
For the HI NENC PREDICT Project, report ? COPD 3.1 Higher Risk Patients – May Benefit from Intervention identifies your high-risk COPD patient cohorts who require more frequent reviews and potential optimisation of their COPD. If this report is returning low patient numbers, please run and review ? COPD 1.1 – Exacerbation without follow up review ; this report will identify patients whom have had a COPD exacerbation without a follow up review.
The Inhalers reports help to identify patients who may require intervention or may benefit from switching to a more environmentally friendly alternative.
For the NENC ICB OPTIMISE Project, the following reports will identify patients potentially eligible for review, and to show which of your patients have had an “OPTIMISE” within the appropriate time frame. We have created a specific folder for these Reports:
