The average percentage of variation between practices which was attributable to chance (sampling variation) was then calculated.
There are large variations in prescribing between practices which are influenced by practice level characteristics: list size, number of GPs, proportion of female GPs, and population factors including age, gender, deprivation and long-term illness [ 19].
Moreover, the monetary incentive resulting from the skewed fee schedule (between hospital and office practices), which is favourable for OPs, encourages them to remain in practice longer.

The New Zealand health system relies heavily on a private-public partnership between the broader health system and general practice, which is dominated by small to medium businesses that play a reactive role to patient demands outside the hospital system.
We critiqued the recent PC literature with the highest potential to impact hospital practice.We reviewed articles published between January 2016 and December 2016, which were identified through a handsearch of leading journals and a MEDLINE search.
15 To the best of our knowledge, no study has examined how high-risk prescribing varies between individual prescribers and practices, 16 which is the aim of this analysis.
