Abstract
Background. A majority of doctor–patient meetings result in the patient getting a prescription. This underlines the need for a high-quality prescription process. While studies have been made on single therapeutic drug groups, a complete study of the physicians’ general thought process that comprises the prescription of all drugs still remains to be made.Keywords
