Epidemiological usefulness of population-based electronic clinical records in primary care: estimation of the prevalence of chronic diseasesEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions. Prevalences estimated from ECRPC and survey data present variations depending on the disease, age and sex. Both data sources provide complementary information about chronic disease prevalence. ECRPC have the advantage of generating an ongoing standardized register and entailing no additional effort for health professionals. (Source: Family Practice)

The effect of reminder letters on the uptake of an e-learning programme on dementia: a randomized trial in general practiceEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions. Three reminder letters added to a nation-wide dissemination increased the probability for a GP logon in the ELP by a Factor 8. However, in total, only a small proportion used the ELP. Thus, further research is needed in order to consider future implementation strategies for Internet-based Continuous Medical Education activities among not primed GPs. (Source: Family Practice)

Telephone consultations on palliative sedation therapy and euthanasia in general practice in The Netherlands in 2003: a report from insideEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion. GPs caring for patients dying at home encountered complex clinical dilemmas in end-of-life care (including palliative sedation therapy and euthanasia). They valued practical advice from, and open discussion with, GP advisors. The advice often helped the GP find solutions to the patient's problems that did not require deliberately foreshortening life. (Source: Family Practice)

Lonely patients in general practice: a call for revealing GPs' emotions? A qualitative studyEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions. When confronted with lonely patients, a helpful distinction could be made between transitory and chronic loneliness. Chronically lonely patients are more likely to evoke negative feelings and behaviour in their GPs. GPs should try to recognize these emotions and make sure they do not harmfully influence consultation. (Source: Family Practice)

A comparison of chronic illness care quality in US and UK family medicine practices prior to pay-for-performance initiativesEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions. Following National Health Service (NHS) investment in primary care preparedness, but prior to the QOF, UK practices provided more standardized care but did not achieve better intermediate outcomes than a sample of typical US practices. US policymakers should focus on reducing variation in care documentation to ensure the effectiveness of P4P efforts while the NHS should focus on moving from process documentation to better patient outcomes.

Pulse oximetry in family practice: indications and clinical observations in patients with COPDEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions. FPs report a wide range of indications for pulse oximetry in acute as well as non-acute situations. In COPD, pulse oximetry appears to be especially useful in patients with severe disease and worsening of symptoms. Pulse oximetry may have a role in the monitoring of patients with COPD with exercise-related dyspnoea. (Source: Family Practice)

Conclusions. SP visits with feedback were acceptable to pharmacists as a method of improving the quality of consultations for OTC medicines, irrespective of the person giving feedback (SP or PE). The process by which pharmacists and their staff derived their recommendations, in terms of information gathering, could be improved. A large-scale study is needed to assess the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of SP visits with feedback. (Source: Family Practice)

Do family doctors have an obligation to facilitate research?Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
In the third of a series of articles examining ethical issues in primary care research, we argue that family doctors, when considering what they ought to do in relation to research, have a positive obligation to participate in research and that one means of discharging this obligation is to collaborate in research studies by aiding recruitment. We offer three arguments in support of this obligation–arguments from fairness, reason and utility. We then go on to specify a series of conditions on this obligation which take into account that doctors have many other obligations. These are the conditions of financial remune...

Mandatory Reporting and Child Exposure to Domestic Violence: Issues Regarding the Therapeutic Alliance with CouplesEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Abstract  Some child welfare legislation have recently expanded the definition of ‘a child in need of protection’ to include child exposure to intimate partner violence. Such legislation places clinicians in the challenging position of determining whether a situation falls under their duty to report. The current paper examines a case example in which there was child exposed to intimate partner violence, the clinician made a report to child welfare authorities and attempted to maintain the therapeutic alliance with the couple in treatment. The couple viewed contacting child welfare authorities as a crisis ...

Quality of routine spirometry tests in Dutch general practices.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion The quality of routine spirometry tests was better than in previous reports from primary care research settings, but there is still substantial room for improvement. Sufficient duration of forced expiratory time is the quality marker with the highest rate of inadequacy. Primary care professionals should be aware of patient characteristics that may diminish the quality of their spirometry tests. Further research is needed to establish to what extent spirometry tests that are inadequate, according to stringent international expert criteria, result in incorrect clinical interpretations in general practice.
