Forward Dating

The Forward Dating Tab within the Settings screen provides three different options for forward dating of indicators. These options will change the information that you see displayed in the Contract Indicators, Contract Templates and Patient Target Lists (the reference date is clearly shown on these screens).

Forward Dating Tab

To change the forward dating, select from the following options:

• None - Only those indicators requiring completion as of today's date will be shown.
  Note - For each new QOF year Vision+ automatically reverts the Forward Dating option back to None (today's date). Depending on your practice preference you may want to change this per individual user login.
• Forward Date - Will also show those indicators that have already been completed as of today's date, but will need to be re-recorded before a specified reference date. You can set this date using the date picker or by typing in a date.
• Rolling Days - Will also show those indicators that have already been completed as of today's date, but will need to be re-recorded within a specific number of days ahead. You can set the number of days using the Days field.
  Note - If you choose the Forward Date or Rolling Days option, you also are able to select the Show Inactive Triggers checkbox to display those items that will need recording in the future, but cannot be recorded within the specified time period. Depending on which option you have selected, the indicators will appear in different colours in the other screens. For more information on the colour-coding of indicators, see Colour Coding for Contract Indicators.
