The objective of this study was to determine factors underlying general practitioners' decisions not to prescribe such drugs to patients with type 2 diabetes.
Further research is required to develop effective staff training, potentially drawing upon the key principles underlying positive practitioner-patient relationships identified within the review: effective communication, non-judgmental attitudes and encouraging active involvement in the treatment process.
In developing and applying the IPCOE framework, the first task has been to explore and make explicit the intervention theory (theories), including the practitioners' underlying assumptions about how an intervention is intended to work and what impacts this is expected to have.
It should not be evidenced without a careful investigation of a practitioner's reasoning underlying their decisions.
Yet, most lung symptoms do not represent underlying cancer, and the general practitioner (GP) must therefore interpret the symptoms and weigh the small risk of underlying cancer against the likelihood of the symptoms reflecting a benign or self-limiting illness [ 8] and on this basis decide on the appropriate level of diagnostic work-up.
Their aim should be: (1) to gather together, record and share the underlying, accumulated experience of other practitioners in relevant fields of expertise; and (2) to suggest ways to find optimal solutions to the most critical issues.
This study identified high-level routines of LC that can be designed and controlled by managers and practitioners, to reconfigure underlying routines of ONPDC and OSIC to achieve superior performance in a turbulent environment.
The repository of images was actively disseminated via social media by the RinGs steering committee to stimulate interest and discussion on the subject matter among health systems researchers and practitioners.> Underlying the aims of the photo competition was a recognition of the importance of participation of community members, health workers and other non-academics in our research engagement.
However, we encourage practitioners to explore underlying etiologies for anemia as this may have implications for HRQL in an individual with COPD.
Further work is needed to explore factors underlying the decision of general practitioners to record a diagnosis of dementia and enter it on a dementia register, as well as why the mortality rates are higher in the first year after formal recording of a diagnosis.
