Epilepsy 5.1 Rationale
The clinical indicators of epilepsy care cannot be checked unless
the practice has a register of patients with epilepsy. The phrase ‘receiving
treatment’ has been included in order to exclude the large number of patients
who had epilepsy in the past, and may have been off treatment and fit-free for
many years. Some patients may still be coded as ‘epilepsy’ or ‘history of epilepsy’
and will be picked up on computer searches.Patients who have a past history
of epilepsy who are not on drug therapy should be excluded from the register.
Drugs on repeat prescription will be picked up on search.
It is proposed that the disease register includes patients aged
18 and over as care for younger patients is generally undertaken by specialists.
Epilepsy 5.2 Reporting and verification
The practice reports the number of patients aged 18 and over on
its epilepsy disease register and the number of patients aged 18 and over on
its epilepsy disease register as a proportion of total list size.
Verification – PCOs may compare the expected prevalence with the
reported prevalence.
