Calculating Quality Reporting Service (CQRS) Local – Overview
The CSU Collaborative has developed CQRS Local as the go-to web-based portal for providers and commissioners to manage their own localised incentive schemes.
The CSU Collaborative consists of five Commissioning Support Units; Arden & GEM, Midlands and Lancashire, North of England, North East London and South, Central & West. Collectively, they are working together to deliver an efficient and sustainable GP payment system. NHSE/I has commissioned the system.
Additionally, CQRS Local will complement the existing national CQRS system, managed by the CSU Collaborative.
CQRS Local is now live – It launched in April 2021 and you can go onboard to start using the system.
