Category Primary study
Registry of Trialsclinicaltrials.gov
Year 2016
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.
