| Abstract | OBJECTIVES--To compare prescribing in general practices before and after they become fundholders to assess whether this affected prescribing patterns. DESIGN--Analysis of prescribing data (PACT) for one year before and one year after practices become first, second, or third wave fundholders and comparison with practices that were not fundholders during any part of the study. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES--Prescribing costs (net ingredient cost per prescribing unit), prescribing volume (items per 1000 prescribing units), net ingredient cost per item, and percentage of generic prescribing. SETTING--Former Mersey Regional Health Authority. SUBJECTS--100 fundholders (20 first wave, 31 second wave, 49 third wave) and 312 nonfundholders. RESULTS--Prescribing costs and volume rose throughout the study in all groups. In all three fundholding waves the rate of increase of prescribing costs was significantly lower than for nonfundholders. Both cost per item and prescribing volume tended to decrease, the former probably because of a significant increase in generic prescribing. Fundholding and non-fundholding practices differed in several respects. CONCLUSION--Fundholding has altered practice prescribing patterns compared with those of nonfundholders, increasing generic prescribing and reducing the rate of increase of prescribing costs. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
