Capitation based prescribing budgets will not work
General practice prescribing costs have risen rapidly in recent years, and there are wide variations between practices in rates and costs of prescribing. Setting general practice prescribing budgets with a capitation based formula seems to offer a solution to these problems. However, capitation based formulas may unfairly penalise legitimate variations and increases in prescribing costs. We the...
متن کاملNew formula for Calculation of Cobalt-60 Percent Depth Dose
Introduction: On the basis of percent depth dose (PDD) calculation, the application of dosimetry in radiotherapy has an important role to play in reducing the chance of tumor recurrence. The aim of this study is to introduce a new formula for calculating the centeral axis percent depth doses of Cobalt-60 beam. Materials and Methods: In the present study, based on ...
متن کاملAnalysis of the ability of the new needs adjustment formula to improve the setting of weighted capitation prescribing budgets in English general practice.
“wrong” sign, but the variable seems counterintuitive only if considered in isolation. Consideration of other variables in the model makes the reason clear. Variables with counterintuitive sign compensate for the excess effects of other variables in the model, so that excluding them removes this opportunity for negative feedback. The result is a model that is both less subtle and less predictiv...
متن کاملLinear-Graph GP - A New GP Structure
In recent years different genetic programming (GP) structures have emerged. Today, the basic forms of representation for genetic programs are tree, linear and graph structures. In this contribution we introduce a new kind of GP structure which we call linear-graph. This is a further development to the linear-tree structure that we developed earlier. We describe the linear-graph structure, as we...
متن کاملOpioid substitution therapy--a study of GP participation in prescribing.
BACKGROUND Opioid substitution therapy (OST) is the most commonly provided treatment for heroin dependence in Australia and has been shown to be effective. Access to OST outside of specialised public clinics and prisons relies on the participation of general practitioners. In Australia there is a shortage of GPs available to prescribe OST, which results in an unmet need for OST services. Studie...
