Abstract:
We investigated the effects of a multi-dimensional intervention on practice prescription patterns in five drug groups. The number of prescribed defined daily doses (DDDs) increased after the intervention, while potential savings/DDD decreased. The county's average cost/DDD fell to a level below the national average. It is possible to change general practitioners' prescription patterns without interfering with their clinical freedom or patients' access to treatment.
