    Physician prescription patterns reveal antibiotics, antihistamines, and antihypertensives are most common. Prescription frequency varied significantly based on patient insurance type and physician training level.

    Area of Science:

    • Family Medicine
    • Pharmacology
    • Health Services Research

    Background:

    • Understanding physician prescribing habits is crucial for optimizing medication use and patient outcomes.
    • Variations in prescription patterns can be influenced by physician experience and patient socioeconomic factors.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze prescription patterns in a family practice residency.
    • To investigate the impact of postgraduate training level on prescribing frequency.
    • To examine how patient payment systems influence the number of prescriptions issued.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of prescription data from a family practice residency office.
    • Categorization of prescriptions by drug class and physician training level.
    • Comparison of prescription rates across different patient payment groups (Medicare-Medicaid, self-pay, third-party insurance).

    Main Results:

    • Antibiotics, antihistamine-decongestants, and antihypertensives were the most frequently prescribed drug categories.
    • Prescription frequency increased with postgraduate training level, with faculty issuing the most prescriptions per visit.
    • Patients with third-party insurance received significantly more prescriptions per visit compared to Medicare-Medicaid and self-pay patients.

    Conclusions:

    • Prescribing patterns in family practice residency are influenced by both physician training and patient insurance status.
    • Further research is needed to understand the clinical implications of these observed prescription variations.
    • Optimizing prescription practices may require tailored interventions considering physician experience and patient financial factors.
