NAQC is proud to announce
the publication of its new Quality Improvement Initiative Issue Paper, Quitline Referral Systems.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.
If you have any questions about the paper or about NAQC’s Quality Improvement
Initiative, please email Tamatha
