apolgies for cross posting
Dr Simon Balmer, Senior Registrar in Public Health Medicine,
Wakefield HA, asked me to post the following request:
We have produced and disseminated guidelines about the management of
heart failure to all GPs within the district, and wish to evaluate
their impact on the prescribing of loop diuretics and ACE inhibitors.
PACT data is unsuitable, so we intend to collect prescribing data
directly from practices, hopefully from practice computer systems rather
than case-notes.
Are there any published studies of this type? - we can't find them
Has anyone direct experience of this type of data collection (from
more than one practice) - we are anxious to build on previous efforts
rather than rediscover problems .
please reply to the sender ([log in to unmask])
