    Notes: Abstract Objective: To determine to what extent general practitioners’ (GPs) prescribing behaviour is a result of repeat prescribing of medication which has been initiated by specialists. Method: During a 4-week period, pharmacists identified GPs’ prescriptions for a large group of cardiovascular drugs. Next, questionnaires were sent to the prescribing GPs to find out whether the prescriptions were in fact repeat prescriptions. If they were, the GPs were asked whether or not they had originally been prescribed by a specialist. Setting: Six pharmacies in the northeastern part of the Netherlands. Subjects: Fourty-four GPs, 39 of whom responded. Results: Of 1648 questionnaires, 1342 (81%) were returned. Of drugs for cardiovascular therapy that the GPs prescribed, 66% had originally been prescribed by specialists. Conclusions: For many cardiovascular drugs, GPs’ prescriptions predominantly originated from specialists’ prescribing. For more reliable attribution of prescription data or prescribing behaviour to either specialists or to GPs, similar studies should be made for other drug groups. Since the extent of repeat prescribing is high, qualitative studies should be made of the appropriateness of chronic medication, initiated by specialists and continued in repeat prescribing by GPs.

    Information about drugs in family magazines (1995)
    Springer
    Pharmacy world & science 17 (1995), S. 48-53

    Notes: Abstract Family magazines can play an important role in the diffusion of medical information and information regarding drugs to a ‘lay audience’. We describe what kind of drugs are discussed in the family magazines and which information regarding these drugs is given. Furthermore, we look into the information sources for journalists; special attention is paid to the role of the pharmacist: is (s)he recognized by journalists as one of the experts on drugs? Two approaches were used in order to answer the above described research questions: a content analysis of family magazines and indepth interviews of journalists. Gynaecological products as well as drugs for the central nervous system receive much attention in family magazines. The kind of information given about drugs is limited. Only part of the publications pays attention to side-effects. Patients asking questions about drugs in response to publications in family magazines know the name of a drug but are rarely informed about other aspects of the therapy, such as side-effects. In the provision of information physicians and medical specialists play an important role as sources of information for journalists. There is, however, until now no role for the pharmacist as a source of information on drugs in family magazines.

    Interactive individualization: Patient counselling and drug information supported by knowledge systems (1994)
    Springer
    Pharmacy world & science 16 (1994), S. 154-160 
    Details
    ISSN: 1573-739X

    Notes: Abstract A model for computer-supported patient counselling and drug information in community pharmacies is described. Two types of informational need are distinguished: the subjective informational need,i.e. the informational need perceived by the patient himself, and the normative informational need,i.e. the patient's informational need according to the professional. Accordingly, individualization is defined as the fine-tuning of information to the informational needs of the participants in the process of communication. A computer-supported process of communication based on this model is defined as interactive individualization'. The task of this knowledge system is to support the interactive encounter of the professional and the patient. The process of providing information consists of two subtasks: determining the items of information,e.g. pregnancy, dosage,etc., and subsequently determining the content of information or the advice itself. Based on these subtasks several functionalities of the proposed knowledge system can be derived.
