Regulatory or project-specific criteria (acceptable concentrations of priority OWCs) would enable assessment of ecosystem impacts and demonstration of practitioner compliance.
A recent systematic review of CDSSs suggested that systems for disease management improve practitioner compliance with guidelines: in the majority of randomised trials (23 out of 37 studies, i.e. 62%) and demonstrated a positive impact (Garg et al, 2005).
Without consistency across problem lists, patients cannot receive the full benefits problem lists bring to patient care, namely better practitioner compliance with best practices and the complete utilization of clinical decision support and population management tools.
106– 108 Recognizing these factors in individual patients is important so that health care practitioners can maximize compliance with surveillance recommendations.
A key difference in this study to the previous RCT conducted by the authors [ 18] was the recruitment strategy, aimed to include practitioners whose baseline compliance with guidelines was low.
The primary obstacles to research within IHC centres were time and compliance of practitioners in recording data.
The major difficulties in health education practice for general practitioners were poor patient compliance (77.6%) and lack of medical consultation time (49.0%).
Data were retrieved using PubMed database and Google search through the keywords "Osteoporosis, Postmenopausal"[Mesh], "Drugs Reimbursement Policies," "Access to Treatments," "Equity," "Pharmacovigilance," "Compliance," "General Practitioners," and "Appropriateness of Prescriptions".
Results of these model projects showed that general practitioners feel exonerated and patient compliance is improved through AGnES-employees [ 24].
Previous studies in Malaysia showed that there was a low rate of compliance by medical practitioners to the legal and procedural requirements in prescription writing [ 5, 6].
