Key Speaker at the Management in Practice Event

Wednesday 8 October

Kavita Oberoi's presentation, titled "Maximising income streams in general practice", was held up as a highlight of the 'Management in Practice' conference.

As the founder and managing director of Oberoi Consulting, a key IT solutions provider to primary care, Kavita has gained a tremendous insight into how practices can improve their income through service redesign and improving Quality and Outcomes Framework (QOF) scores, and she shared her experience with the delegates.

Kavita discussed the merits of business planning in general practice using a case study approach, and examined the relationship between reported disease prevalence, QOF income and patient care. She also covered the importance of accurate data collection, clinical performance and the value of a QOF point. Her session concluded with an overview of enhanced services, PBC, and private work and practice accounting.

She explained how Read Code errors and flawed registers mean practices can lose out on QOF points.

As a real-life example, she recounted the case of a surgery that had not allocated correct Read Codes to 89 patients on their list. In just one day, an examination of the data uncovered 30 patients who had not been added to disease prevalence figures.

As she explained, practices can miss out on rewards for work that they're already doing.

Motivational Speaker to Year 6

Inspired by watching Kavita's appearance on the Secret Millionaire programme, Suzie Day, head of English at the South Elmsall college said; "We watched the show together and I thought inviting Kavita into college would inspire students and make them think about their own situations"

Kavita addressed an enthusiastic audience of year 10 and post 16 business and economics students.

"It's very rewarding to be a role model. I'm very passionate about education and youngsters being able to aspire to better things."

Bethany Nicholls, 14, said: "I learned not to take everything in life for granted and not to stereotype people. People who are already in your life can be role models."

Kavita Oberoi speaks at Dispensing Doctor Association Conference

December 2006

Kavita Oberoi, of Oberoi Consulting pointed out that practices ‘lose a lot of money through inappropriate coding’. Practice managers’ ears pricked up at this statement and a number of GPs said they were surprised to hear about ‘quiet’ changes to Read Codes that could lead to lost QoF points.

To minimise inappropriate coding, which can lead to patients not appearing on disease registers, Kavita urged delegates to always use a diagnosis code and to identify and avoid hidden codes; which are generally those starting with a ‘history of’.

To keep abreast of personal, local and national prescribing patterns, Kavita urged delegates to visit www.gpcontract.co.uk/; a website giving published QoF achievement data for every practice in the UK.

Her lively presentation challenged many previously held assumptions.
