P-DQIP is an intervention to improve prescribing safety in primary care. The 'intervention' is a health board quality improvement programme that will be implemented across all practices in one National Health Service (NHS) board in Scotland (Tayside), and comprises the following components: i. Case finding of patients with drug therapy risks via the P-DQIP informatics tool ii. Decision support for clinicians when conducting medication reviews via the P-DQIP informatics tool iii. Support from practice pharmacists in reviewing and managing targeted patients iv. Ongoing performance feedback via the P-DQIP informatics tool v. Promotion of the P-DQIP tool and intervention among general practices. The P-DQIP intervention will be evaluated in all NHS Tayside practices who agree to share their data for monitoring and evaluation purposes.
