GPAS.

Colleagues at Devon LMC have developed and operationalised a simple system which collects a small amount of anonymised data from their practices so that they are able to indicate to the broader system the strain General Practice is under. 

 

This presents data in a simple to understand format which can compete with OPEL data collected on various system dash boards.  In fact, their system converts the General Practice Alert State (GPAS) data into an OPEL assessment with associated triggers for a system response to support.

​

We have decided to introduce the GPAS here as part of a national roll out project running.  The system is being used by Newcastle practices prior to wider roll out.
