CAT4 can report on the new ten improvement measures for the PIP QI through the normal user interface by following the recipes detailed here: PIP QI Improvement Measures. However some of the indicators have slightly different definitions and/or calculations so PEN CS has developed this report showing the ten measures exactly as specified by the Department of Health for the PIP QI. No filters are required and you can access the new reports through the dashboard/programs or find it under under 'Standard Reports/Indicator Sets/PIP QI'.For full details on how to access programs in CAT4, see this page: Programs. Once you have access the programs view, you can select the PIP QI program icon:



After loading your latest (or any other) data extract, you will be able to see the new PIP QI indicator set with the ten indicators as well as a summary report. Each report tab is pre-filtered to the specifications defined in the PIP QI and doesn't require any additional filtering. You can however apply additional filters if required.

All details on the calculation and definitions are provided in the header/footer of the report graphs.
