Measuring general practice productivity: Development and evaluation of the general practice effectiveness tool
Kings Fund, 21 February 2019
  • This study developed and tested a measure of effectiveness in general practice known as the general practice effectiveness tool (GPET), in consultation with GPs, practice staff, and members of the public. This summary outlines the findings and offers learning for practices on how they think about their effectiveness.
  • GPET comprises 4 performance areas (clinical care, practice management, patient focus and external focus), which are covered by 11 objectives, measured by 52 indicators, gathered mainly from data that is routinely collected by practices.
