Transforming the Treatment of Tobacco Use in Health Care: Seizing the Potential of the Electronic Health Record to Deliver Comprehensive Chronic Care Treatment for Smoking: Study 1: the EHR and Fax Referral Study
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Tobacco quitline EHR referral and Tobacco quitline Fax referral for Tobacco Use Cessation and Tobacco Smoking. Completed, enrolled 14,930 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This study is designed to assess whether completely electronic, HIPAA-compliant, EHR-based, closed-loop referrals for tobacco cessation from primary care clinics to a state telephone tobacco quitline service can increase the number/percentage of adult tobacco users receiving evidence-based tobacco dependence treatment when compared to paper-based fax referrals. This study also will survey clinic staff to evaluate satisfaction with the referral process.
