5 Rheumatoid Arthritis Template Guide The template includes coded data entry for all the quality indicators for Rheumatoid Arthritis required by the GP GMS contract. These are marked with *. We have included a number of other items which monitor good practice. The contract requires practices to produce a register of all patients aged 16 or over with rheumatoid arthritis. We have deliberately not included the diagnosis code in the template, in case including it encourages multiple entries over time. RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS MAIN PAGE Rheumatoid Arthritis Template *Signifies QOF indicator for this domain Prompt Code What does this prompt mean? EMISWeb Consultation Section Rheumatoid Arthritis Review An annual review should include: - Assess disease activity and damage, which may include CRP or ESR test - Measure functional ability (e.g. with HAQ) - Check for comorbidities such as hypertension, IHD, osteoporosis and depression - Check for complications such as vasculitis, and disease of the cervical spine, lung or eyes - Medication review including DMARDS - Carer review QOF Target Face to face review in preceding 12 mths * RA annual 66HB0 Tick box review Examination Blood Pressure 246 Enter value for Systolic and Diastolic Examination O/E height 229 Enter the value for height Examination O/E weight 22A Enter the value for weight Examination Body Mass Index 22K Automatically calculated Examination QRISK2 38DP Calculates the risk of developing CVD in the next 10 years.

Patient unsuitable 9hR0 rmed dissent 9hR1 Text line HIGH RISK DRUGS PAGE HRD Monitoring HRD Monitoring 66P Tick box Text line - Date/Ref of 1st hospital letter: Based broadly on the National Patient Safety Agency Safe Practice Checklist, the High Risk Drugs Monitoring template has been produced to enable GPs to readily ensure the necessary blood results are available and patient education has occurred to facilitate safe prescribing of the following high-risk drugs: 6

7 Methotrexate Azathioprine Mercaptopurine Ciclosporin Dapsone Penicillamine Hydroxychloroqui ne Sulphasalazine Mycophenolate Oral Tacrolimus Hydroxycarbamide Cyclophosphamide Leflunomide Text Hospital initiated prescription 8B2D In the majority of cases these drugs are initiated in secondary care and GPs are asked to continue the prescribing of these for their patients. This may occasionally occur without the GP having access to up-to date blood test results. The purpose of this template is to improve safety by highlighting the monitoring, increasing access to important blood tests and ensuring the identification of gaps in monitoring when these occur. The name and indication for the high risk drug is: Tick box Tick if the high risk drug was initiated by a specialist. Free text the name of the hospital, the consultant and the contact details. Methotrexate should be taken weekly. Methotrexate should generally be prescribed as 2.5mg tablets. Please specify the date Methotrexate is meant to be taken and also the date in milligrams and number of tablets. e.g. Methotrexate 2.5mg tablets Take (5 mg) TWO TABLETS on Monday Investigations/Results Haemoglobin 423 Value Result White Blood 42H Value Result Cell Platelet 42P Value Result count MCV 42A Value Result Neutrophil 42J Value Result count Lymphocytes 42M Value Result Serum Urea 44J9 Value Result Serum 44J3 Value Result Creatinine Sodium 44I5 Value Result Potassium 44I4 Value Result Serum albumin 44M4 Value Result 7
