Background
Additional requirements have been identified for the Consultation Management - GP Capability in relation to the use of Consultation form templates. The requirements will improve the quality of the Capability by expanding upon the functionality currently described for Consultation form templates, allowing Suppliers to better demonstrate their Solution functionality and allowing Buyers to make more informed choices.
Consultation form templates are used in GP Practices to capture information about Patients and their health or care conditions. They are used to standardise the ways in which Health or Care Professionals interact with Patients and assess their healthcare needs, often reproducing nationally recognised tools that allow Health or Care Professionals to make assessments using methods that are consistent across the healthcare sector. Consequently they can serve a wide range of purposes and often use numerical inputs, or other fixed values which can be converted into numbers.
Implementations can include Scored Assessments, where the Patient’s condition is rated across a number of criteria and then totalled to produce a single result upon a scale (for example, PHQ9 assigns a value of 0 to 3 across a range of criteria in order to assess a Patient’s degree of depression).
Other implementations can involve more complex Calculations, using standardised formulae (for example, calculating Body Mass Index (BMI) and Pregnancy Expected Due Date).
New MAY Epics will be added to the Consultation Management - GP Capability to describe these implementations, and existing Epics will be uplifted with Patch Changes to reflect the addition of the new functionality.

Full Specification
The updated Consultation Management - GP Capability will be added at a later date. Proposed changes can be viewed in the Summary of Change above.
Assurance Approach
Updated Epics
For Suppliers with Solutions already on the Buying Catalogue the results of previous Capability Assessments will be carried over for the Epics that have changed.
Solutions that are already compliant are not impacted by these changes.
New MAY Epic
MAY Epics describe additional functionality and these can be selected by Suppliers, but are not mandatory. If selected, Suppliers will be assessed against this Epic as per the Capability Assessment process and this will be a high level assessment based on the Acceptance Criteria defined.
If selected, Suppliers will be asked to demonstrate their mitigations against any pre-identified risks through completion of the NHS England Solution Assurance Capability Risk Log submission.
