Abstract
  • As part of the Inquiry into the Quality of General Practice, The King’s Fund commissioned this research project to examine the management of acute illness (both minor and serious). In common with the other projects commissioned as a part of the Inquiry, the research team was tasked with examining: the role of general practice; what good quality of care looks like in terms of patient care and cost-effectiveness; how good quality care can be measured (metrics); and to make a current assessment of what is known about the current quality of acute illness management in general practice. This report identifies four categories of acute illness before considering the possibilities for proposing quality markers, under the headings of acute distress, patient perspectives, the consultation in general practice, the quality of diagnosis, the quality of treatment, including prescribing, and the quality of referral.
  • This paper was commissioned by The King's Fund to inform the Inquiry panel. The views expressed are those of the authors and not of the panel.
