Learn more about the audit's aims and objectives.
CVDPREVENT is a national audit of GP records to support primary care in understanding how many people with cardiovascular disease (CVD), or conditions that lead to a higher risk of developing CVD, are potentially undiagnosed, under treated or over treated. Analysis and reporting of the audit is designed to support systematic quality improvement using the findings from annual audit reports and the associated Data & Improvement Tool, to reduce health inequalities and improve outcomes for individuals and populations.
This Data & Improvement Tool enables you to drill down into the data, showing information at National, ICS, PCN and individual practice levels to enable teams to understand the performance of their services and potential improvement opportunities.
The “resources for next steps” page signposts teams to tools and approaches to support their quality improvement journey.
In addition to the Annual Audit Reports and Data & Improvement Tool, pilot sites will work with the CVDPREVENT team to share their experiences of using the data, applying improvement approaches, developing case studies and blogs, and monitoring progress, to help others learn from their work. The initial pilot sites are Cheshire and Mersey Health and Care Partnership and Kent Surrey Sussex Academic Health Science Network (KSS AHSN).
