Tobacco Use Cessation
Conditions
Brief summary
The existing tobacco cessation best practice advisory (BPA) fires for providers (physicians, residents, fellows, midwives, nurse practitioners, physician assistants) during outpatient encounters when a patient is identified as a current tobacco user in the Social History section of their chart. The BPA was designed to help facilitate tobacco cessation interventions; it is part of the The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Quality Payment Program (QPP). The purpose of the project is to optimize this BPA utilization and improve patient outcomes by comparing multiple versions of the tobacco cessation BPA.
