As health systems change strategies become more widespread, quitlines can work to ensure inclusion in the planned changes to increase reach and address chronic disease. Resources in this section address the topics of building effective public-private partnerships and quitlines’ role in comprehensive tobacco cessation programs. Information also includes some issues related to quitline operations (e.g. referral systems), electronic health records and healthcare reform.

2015 - Guide for Implementing eReferral  Link  [ more ] [ hide ]		Administration	9/29/2024
This guide is a resource for quitlines and other cessation services that would like to establish referral systems with healthcare electronic health record (EHR) systems. It provides recommended standards for implementing eReferral in a straightforward and efficient way. For non-technical program staff, the guide’s introduction, purpose and summary of recommendations will provide useful background on eReferral (see first 5 pages). For technical staff at quitlines, other cessation services and healthcare institutions, the guide’s recommended set of standards provides a roadmap for creating bi-directional eReferrals.
2022- Project CONNECT: An Implementation Guide  Link  [ more ] [ hide ]		Administration	9/29/2024
Project CONNECT: An Implementation Guide for Quitlines was released as a result of NAQC’s partnership activities with the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center (MD Anderson), as well as quitline service providers, and quitline funders. Project CONNECT tested and further refined an existing video patient decision aid about LCS for quitline participants. Seven state quitlines and their state public health funders participated in Project CONNECT to evaluate the reach and impact and document the resources needed to implement and maintain the patient decision aid and other educational materials about LCS. Based on the experiences of the states and service providers involved in Project CONNECT, an Implementation Guide for Quitlines was developed to help quitline funders and service providers learn what it takes to educate quitline participants about lung cancer screening.
2013 Issue Paper - Quitline Referral Systems Link  [ more ] [ hide ]		Administration	9/29/2024
This issue paper aims to explore the current landscape of quitline referral systems with healthcare and other providers and to examine in detail the critical operational and outcome-related components of these referral systems. While the primary focus of the paper is on the U.S. experience, the authors have incorporated critical aspects of the Canadian systems where appropriate. In addition to providing a review of the evidence, authors address the fundamental processes that underlie all referral systems, regardless of the referral method (e.g., phone, fax or electronic) and make recommendations for quality referral systems practices.
