Do patients cash prescriptions? An audit in one practice.

Abstract

It has been suggested that up to 20 per cent of patients do not cash their prescriptions. To investigate this possibility, the rate of uncashed prescriptions in a group practice was measured. Out of 1,395 prescriptions studied, 89 (6.4 per cent) were uncashed. An association between having to pay prescription charges and prescriptions being uncashed was shown. Measurement of the rate of uncashed prescriptions deserves to be more widely used as a means of self-audit.
