prescribing practices
Also see prescription.
Notes:
- prescribing in a high-volume primary care practice
- tradeoffs of efficiency & thoroughness
- processing of patient requests for medication using receptionists vs review by physician
- practices with a larger number of requests & high physician workload, who care for older & socioeconomically disadvantaged populations, are more likely to emphasize efficiency over thoroughness [1]
- industry payments appear to affect prescribing practices [3]
