As set out in the Cardiovascular Disease Outcomes Strategy, published in March 2013, atrial fibrillation is a priority for this Government and NHS England will work to support primary care to provide good management of people with or at risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), including atrial fibrillation-related stroke. Responsibility for improving clinical outcomes from healthcare services lies with NHS England. NHS England is developing its overall approach to delivering reduced premature mortality, in line with the NHS Outcomes Framework. As one of the major causes of premature mortality, reducing cardiovascular-related mortality is expected to form a significant element of NHS England's work to support primary care, including providing good management of people with or at risk of CVD. The Clinical Commissioning Group (CCGs) Outcome Indicators Set for 2013-14 will be used to measure improvement in the quality of services and health outcomes achieved by CCGs through commissioning. This includes indicators on CVD, which covers atrial fibrillation. In line this overall aim, NHS Improving Quality's (NHS IQ's) strategic priorities for 2013-14 include public awareness and early diagnosis and a major drive to increase general practitioner engagement in stroke. Prior to the formation of NHS Improving Quality, NHS Improvement implemented the national roll out of Guidance on Risk Assessment and Stroke Prevention for Atrial Fibrillation (GRASP-AF), as part of a wider programme aimed at improving the management, of atrial fibrillation in stroke prevention. GRASP-AF is a simple audit tool for use in primary care to help with stroke risk assessment and the management of atrial fibrillation. NHS IQ will continue to promote these tools.
