Participants in the Conference anticipated that the advent of new data and experience applying the criteria to actual clinical situations may necessitate clarifications, corrections, refinement and perhaps revisions of the criteria.
Elucidating the mechanism necessitates clarification of the causal genes and their gene products.
One major reason for the rather low frequency in our study compared to other studies may be that we only included prescribing errors that the dispensing pharmacists considered severe enough to necessitate a clarification contact with the prescriber.
I reviewed American Tapestry, a book about Michelle Obama's ancestors by Rachel Swarns, a couple of weeks ago, but with the release imminent, a number of articles associating me with the book have appeared, necessitating some clarification.
Of the 31225 dispensed prescriptions, 1.0% (312/31225) necessitated a clarification contact with the prescriber.
This is indeed a controversial idea in view of the many studies that have shown unique properties of distinct AP-1 components, necessitating further clarification.
Such discrepancy necessitates urgent clarification because substitution of conventional susceptibility testing with molecular probe based methods such as GeneXpert MTB/RIF (Cepheid, CA, USA) has been strongly advocated but would lead to dramatically different results and treatment regimens (13 ).
The aim of the present study was to assess the quality of ePrescriptions by comparing the proportions of ePrescriptions and non-electronic prescriptions necessitating a clarification contact (correction, completion or change) with the prescriber at the time of dispensing.
The increased proportion of prescriptions necessitating a clarification contact for new ePrescriptions compared to new non-electronic prescriptions indicates the need for an increased focus on quality aspects in ePrescribing deployment.
The outcome measures (numbers and frequencies of prescriptions necessitating a clarification contact, causes of clarification contacts, time and results of interventions) were related to statistics on dispensed prescriptions obtained from Apoteket AB (personal communication B-M Alsén) for February 2006 for the three pharmacies studied.
