[QUOTE="ButtterflyLady, post: 912865, member: 43498"] What sort of results do they get paid for? What are their targets? (If you can provide links to DES and QOF that might be helpful). I would be surprised if their targets are a certain number of prescriptions. In NZ, the targets are more like having a certain number of diabetic patients with HbA1c in a target range, or having most of your enrolled patients tested for diabetes, for example. It takes about the same number of minutes to discuss carbs as it does to discuss and prescribe a medication. So I don't think limited time is the whole story. [/QUOTE]
