Calculating Quality Reporting System (CQRS) Local is a web-based claims management system designed to support the management of local schemes between Commissioners and Primary Care providers. The system is set up to manage Direct Enhanced Services (DES), Local Enhanced Services (LES) and Local Incentive Schemes (LIS).
CQRS Local supports the management of voluntary Locally Enhanced Schemes (LES) commissioned by Integrated Care Boards (ICBs). It streamlines the process of provider claims against local schemes, reducing administrative time. Furthermore, it ensures claims are trackable within a secure web-based platform with reporting features.
How is CQRS Local different to CQRS National?
Both CQRS Local and CQRS National are part of the GP Payments Calculations Futures Programme (GPPCF).
CQRS Local and CQRS National systems are accessed via the same portal.
All national schemes are managed via the CQRS National system and process.
CQRS Local differs because it’s been developed to provide support in the management of Local Incentive Schemes. The Local system is hosted on innovative technology, meaning that the limit on the number of schemes offered can be increased.
