Introduction to Vision+

Vision+ enables you to manage national contracts and assist with monitoring local requirements. It is fully integrated with Vision 3 and provides an immediate way of capturing essential data using real time alerts. Vision+ also provides a comprehensive reporting suite which includes a flexible recall management tool and reports.

When a patient record is open in Consultation Manager, Vision+ shows missing or incorrect contract information and provides intelligent templates for fast data recording. There are also additional reporting facilities to help with QOF/QAIF management.

Vision+ comprises the following changes and additions to Vision 3 modules:

• Consultation Manager Menu and Toolbars - The Vision+ toolbar and menu option takes you directly to the Vision+ functions. The Vision+ options consist of a Alert Indicator which provides colour coded timely alerts that capture the patient's QOF/QAIF requirements at a glance. There are also some easy to use data entry tools that allow you to record key terms quickly and efficiently. QOF/QAIF Templates can be used to help record information in a structured format. Calculators and Questionnaires are available to help manage patient care.
