Patient adherence to treatment based on EMIS electronic prescribing records
Supplementary Table J presents the percentage of scheduled GP appointments that were attended by patients (including phone consultations) over the treatment period. This information was collected from EMIS records for 15/18 patients. One patient did not attend follow-up (and therefore, EMIS data were not extracted); two further patients attended their follow-up interview but EMIS data could not be extracted. Overall, most patients attended most scheduled appointments. Of patients with EMIS data (15/18), nearly 100% of scheduled appointments were attended.
