Are SMRs counted against our IIF target?+

Yes — every SMR is coded against the relevant SNOMED codes for IIF SMR indicators and reported back to you in the monthly outcomes pack.

Can you cover care homes specifically?+

Yes. Care home SMRs are one of our most-requested cohorts. We deliver them in-reach to the home and combine the review with deprescribing recommendations and falls-risk medicines audit.

What about complex patients we'd normally keep with the GP?+
