HbA1c Targets

The default setup is to work to QOF targets unless a patient has a personalised target that has been coded in the last 2 years. In that instance, the system checks the latest HbA1c against the target.

There are reports that can be used to review individualised targets:

There are codes that can be added in bulk, or within a patient record, to override and ignore the previous target. Alternatively, there is a localisation to ignore personalised targets all together.

To set or clear a target within a record, go to the HbA1c page of the Pathology Overview and record here:

It is also possible to enable a localisation that works to a target of 52 for all diabetic patients.
