Learning from patients	Insufficient data

↵* A negative γ value indicates that a lower score at the first Maturity Matrix (MM) session is associated with prioritising the dimension at first session.
↵† A positive γ value indicates that prioritising the dimension at first session leads to change.
↵‡ A positive γ value indicates that (anticipation of) interventions between meetings is associated with change in score from first to second session.
↵§ A positive γ value indicates that (anticipation of) interventions between meetings is associated with a higher prioritising.
↵¶ A positive γ value indicates that multiple GPs in the practice are associated with a higher prioritising.
↵** A positive γ value indicates that multiple GPs in the practice are associated with a higher score at the second MM session.
