| The CAP-study |
| 467 family physicians in the county of Aarhus completed 2,212 questionnaires in which they performed a systematic review of all newly diagnosed patients with cancer encountered in their practices during a one year period (2004–2005) |
| The main themes of the CAP questionnaire: |
| A description of the symptoms presented by the patients |
| Dates when patients first presented their symptoms to the family physician |
| Dates and descriptions of further investigations and treatments initiated |
| Responsibility for possible diagnostic delay in the health care system |
| A description of the family physicians' prior knowledge of the patient (care-seeking behaviour, mental health, risk factors) |
| Study presented |
| In order to study the learning potentials of reviewing patient cases thirteen family physicians from the CAP-study were interviewed on their perceptions of the learning processes initiated by reviewing patient cases, and their evaluations of using patient case reviews as a learning method in family practice |
