LONDON – “When it comes to prescribing habits”, says Dr G Caleb Alexander, a University of Chicago assistant professor of medicine, “this is one of the great unknowns. It’s pretty tough to accurately identify the sources and magnitude of influence that guides physician learning.” On the daily basis doctors make hundreds of decisions that affect patient care, diagnosis, follow up and pharmaceuticals prescribed.
New market research report “New Research into Prescribing Practices” delivered by FirstWord examines such issues as how doctors make prescribing decisions and the factors that sway them. Based on expert interviews and the latest research, the report reveals the key factors that impact physician decisions, from formal education, casual colleague conversations, insurance regulations and government subsidies to continuing medical education, samples and even patient pressure.
