  1. aindicates that post intervention there was an increase of between 10 and 19% in the documentation of the risk factors in those patient records without risk factor documentation at baseline. (also indicated by light shading)
  2. bindicates that post intervention there was an increase of ≥20% in the documentation of the risk factor in those patient records without risk factor documentation at baseline. (also indicated by dark shading)
  3. cThe proportion of full-time equivalent GPs who consented to participate in the intervention related to the total number of FTE GPs in the practice
  4. dFacilitator perception of practice engagement. The symbol ➔ implies transition of engagement over the course of the intervention
  5. eProportion of records with data sufficient to measure cardiovascular risk
  6. fTargets for each indicator were cardiovascular risk: ≥40%, serum cholesterol: ≥50%, blood sugar: ≥50%, blood pressure: ≥80%, smoking status: ≥90%, body mass index ≥25% waist circumference: ≥10%, alcohol consumption: ≥40%
  7. gData unreliable for post intervention serum cholesterol calculation in Practice C
