Examples of how ranking statements were generated from qualitative analysis coding.

Qualitative extract from nominal group meetings	Deductive framework application	Inductively coded ranking statement
“I think it was explained well by the pharmacist about what was going to be involved in the scheme” [Patient, Focus Group] 2 “I think [the pharmacy assistant] gave [the patient] plenty of information” [Patient, Focus Group 3]	Prototype: video of pharmacy assistant inviting patient to receive the intervention like statement	Right information given to allow the patient to make a decision
“…because of the way I’ve answered the questionnaire I won’t get a reminder.” [Patient, Focus Group 3] “A lot of people forget their statins at night. It wasn’t checked that he was taking his statin at night, but if he was forgetting at night, he might want to have it at night to remind him to take his statin” [General practitioner, Focus Group 5]	Prototype: tailoring questionnaire suggested change	Ask whether medication reminders is something the patient would benefit from
“I really liked the MUR… I think having that conversation at the start is really good” [Pharmacist, Focus Group 1] “I think if the pharmacist looked at it and thought hang on a minute, why are they taking that in the morning and it’s definitely something they should be taking at night. It raises maybe a bit more care in the review” [Patient, Focus Group 2]	Prototype: pharmacist consultation video like statement	Including a medication review as part of the set-up
“[The text messages put] the buck on them in a way that they’re going to have to be more responsible and I quite like that.” [Practice Nurse, Focus Group 4] “Minimal impact on clinician burden (patient ownership and responsibility placed on them)” [Extract from notes, Pharmacist, Focus Group 1]	Prototype: document describing how tailoring questionnaire determines text messaging content like statement	The patient self-care emphasis which encourages patients to take responsibility
“So your target can be slightly different. Also depending which medications they’re on, because sometimes you just have to accept that level.” [Practice Nurse, Focus Group 4]	Prototype: diagram suggesting community pharmacy and general practice collaboration suggested change	Confirm individual monitoring targets for patients with GPa practice before using home monitoring (eg, blood pressure targets for patients using home blood pressure monitoring)
