Managing Clinical Performance

Performance of Treatment Reports

Percentage time in range Shows the proportion of the total time during which each patient has had an INR result falling within the target range (defined as ±0.5 of the actual target). The report groups the patients into bands and these are a measure of the quality of anticoagulation control.
Percentage tests in range Shows the percentage of INR tests falling within, above and below the target INR range (Range ±0.5 INR).
Out-of-range The number of out of range results over the period of time selected.
Adverse Event The number of adverse events occurring during the selected time period.
Variance The percentage of all INR results falling within ±0.5 and ±0.75 units of the target INR.
Point prevalence The percentage of patients whose last INR result falls within 0.5 of their target INR. PP gives a clearer picture than time in range of how well your whole service is doing and the British Society of Haematology target for dosing efficiency is 60% of INR tests within 0.5 units of the target INR.
