Online & Video Consultation (OCVC) Extended Collection
Purpose and outline
Online and video consultations (OC/VC) are part of the NHS Long Term Plan and were integral to primary care’s response to Covid-19. The purpose of this collection is to formalise the standard data collection of OC/VCs undertaken in general practice, beyond the national Covid-19 response and to provide vital information to practices and local commissioners on implementation support/resource and how these systems are used.
The service has no indicators because it only facilitates agreement for the data to be collected. Practices will not receive a payment for participating in this data collection as it is a legal requirement for practices to sign up to this Data Provision Notice. The collection will support Primary Care Network (PCN) payments on the use of online consultation tools as part of the Investment and Impact Funding Scheme.
