Patient Registers

Patient registers list the patients with a condition, such as diabetes, hypertension or asthma. They follow NHS England's published QOF register rules and code lists, and they refresh every night.

Where to find them

Go to Reporting → Clinical → Patient Registers.

How registers are kept up to date

Registers refresh automatically overnight. There is nothing to run. A register can be up to a day behind the record: a diagnosis coded today appears on its register tomorrow.

Registers count live patients only. Deceased, merged, test and archived records are left out.

Opening a register

Click a register to see:

• Patients: who is on it and since when, and who could not be decided, with the reason (for example a code that doesn't say enough to decide).
• History: who joined or left on which night and why. A patient joins or leaves because their record changed, because the definition was updated, or because they are no longer a live patient.
• Definition: what the register counts, with a link to the Clinical library.

Before and after the switch

When your practice's registers moved to the QOF definitions, a summary compared each register's new count with the old one and named the patients who joined or left. You can see it on the register list and on each register's History tab.

Registers elsewhere in Jump

Searches, campaigns, automations and clinical prompts that use "on a register" or "not on a register" follow the same lists. "Not on a register" never guesses: a patient the register could not decide is left out.

Tip: if a patient you expect is missing, open the register's Patients list and check whether they are under "could not be decided", and why.
