| Prescribing
Catalogue |
|
The
Prescribing Catalogue complements the PAR by providing
a full inventory of the prescriptions issued for the period
required.
The report
is designed with the intention of providing prescribers
with maximum flexibility and consists of three separate
formats:
-
Concise Catalogue;
- Full Catalogue;
- Summary of Prescribing.
These three
formats provide varying levels of detail and can be
used for a variety of analyses either independently
or in combination.
The Prescribing
Catalogue is available for either:
-
all prescribing or
- prescribing that was dispensed by the practice or
GP being reported on.
Each catalogue
consists of a front cover, a contents list and the sections
requested.
It is available,
on request, for prescribing information covering any
time period of between one and twenty four consecutive
months (the previous twenty four months).
Prescribing
Catalogues are available for:
-
Practice
- GP
- an individual nurse / supplementary prescriber working
within a practice
- an individual additional independent / supplementary
prescriber working within a practice
The Nurse
Prescribing catalogue identifies the formulary from
which the nurse is qualified to prescribe, e.g. Mrs.
N. Smith (NPEF).
Under certain
circumstances the Prescribing Catalogue may be produced
with some figures/sections omitted. These are:
-
if no prescribing details are available for the report
subject for the report period for any requested PPA
BNF code ""*** No Prescribing ***""
will appear to the right of the description in the
contents list; no information will be reported for
these PPA BNF codes. If this applies to all requested
PPA BNF codes a report consisting only of a front
cover and contents list will be issued
-
the summary of prescribing section will not be present
if it was requested as a component of a dispensing
catalogue or the subject of the catalogue is a practice
nurse (England only)
- the figures for percentage change from last year
are shown as zero in the summary of prescribing section
of the Prescribing Catalogue if there are no prescribing
details for that period, for the report subject
-
the figures for percentage variance between the subject
and their equivalent are shown as zero in the summary
of prescribing section of the Prescribing Catalogue
if there are no list size details, consultation details
for Jersey, available for the report subject.
