Achieving DES CAIP 2025/26 – utilising Patient Need Groups (PNGs) for risk stratification
Kent and Medway ICB is supporting General Practice to adopt the Johns Hopkins risk stratification tool, including the use of Patient Need Groups (PNGs), to enable surgeries to proactively identify and support patients with complex needs, enhance continuity of care, reduce avoidable hospital admissions, and improve QOF outcomes. By providing data-driven insights into patient risk, the tool supports more efficient resource allocation and tailored care planning, ultimately enhancing both patient care and practice efficiency. Please ensure your email reflects your current practice name and register for individual patient access to KMCR at: https://forms.office.com/e/b4erUweG4h. For further information and to register your interest in adopting Johns Hopkins risk stratification, please contact karen.hardy12@nhs.net
