Combining QOF data with the care bundle approach may provide a more meaningful measure of quality in general practice

Table 1 Care bundle selection criteria

·	A care bundle should relate to a specific clinical condition
·	A care bundle should have a minimum of three components
·	Care bundle components should describe a specific, measurable action
·	Delivery of every component should be possible for the practice team.
·	Bundle components should be relevant to all patients with that condition.
·	Components must be repeatable, rather than ‘one-off’ actions.
·	Components should not duplicate or be a necessary part of each other
