The voluntary Quality and Outcomes Framework (QOF) annual reward and incentive programme is for all GP surgeries in England. It has been introduced to improve the quality of care patients are given by rewarding practices based on performance against a range of clinical and public health indicators.
Alongside QOF, GP practices are also required to demonstrate quality, safety, and effectiveness through regulatory frameworks such as Key Lines of Enquiry (KLOEs), as well as through internal audits and clinical system searches.
