Aim
To adress quality of prescriptions by general practitionners (GP) belonging to SFMG Peer Groups (PGR).
Method
Prospective study comparing average quality-scores of drug prescription between two groups.
GPs using computer prescription
• 11 diagnoses: HBP, Angina, Thombophlebitis, Rhythmical
disorders, Cardiac insufficiency, Diabetes, Dyslipidemia,
Anxiety, Depression, Insomnia, URI,
• 6 days between April and May 2006,
• 10 items were retained:
– 3 linked to the quality prescription: mention of age, weight and gender,
– 7 linked to the prescription lines related to the studied diseases: mention and conformity of drug galenic, dosage and frequency of intake; and mention of duration of treatment.
The average quality-scores of each group was established from the average quality-score of each drug prescription weighted by the number of lines of prescription, and then from the average quality-score of each GP, weighted by his number of prescriptions.
A cluster statistical analysis was performed.
