Type of Indicator

Bold green text represents a Category where there are no current outstanding indicators or within a template where an indicator has been completed.

Black text represents information that requires completion now. Following the QOF business rule set, these are either outside the time constraints, or have never been recorded.

Indicators in bold blue text mean that you have recorded the information but you need to do it again as it falls outside the time frame.

Light blue text is information that cannot be recorded until specific criteria is met, eg within a set period for the year, or a specific age is reached within the year. These indicators are for information purposes and are not removed if data is recorded when outside the criteria.

A red flag indicates a category has been exception coded in the current QOF year.

An orange flag category or indicator signifies that a previous exception code has expired.

Information in bold grey text means that the category does not currently apply to the patient, eg where a patient is not part of a register.
