Exploration of prescribing error reporting across primary care: a qualitative study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To explore barriers and facilitators to prescribing error reporting across primary care.

Design

Qualitative semi-structured face-to-face and telephone interviews were conducted to explore facilitators and barriers to reporting prescribing errors. Data collection and thematic analysis were informed by the COM-B model of behaviour change. Framework analysis was used for coding and charting the data with the assistance of NVivo software (V.12). General and context specific influences on prescribing error reporting were mapped to constructs from the COM-B model (ie, capability, opportunity and motivation).

Setting

Primary care organisations, including community pharmacy, general practice and community care from North East England.
