Quality and outcomes framework achievement and unplanned admissions for cardiovascular disease
We found mixed evidence for an association between practice-level QOF achievement and unplanned hospital admissions for CVD. There were large ethnic and socioeconomic inequalities in unplanned admissions for cardiovascular disease. Supporting general practices to appropriately improve their achievement of key cardiovascular disease related QOF indicators and reducing socioeconomic inequalities might likely reduce the number of unplanned hospital admissions.
