Evidence-Based Practice |
| Description |
Provider reminder systems for tobacco cessation include efforts to identify clients who use tobacco products and to prompt providers to discuss and/or to advise clients about quitting. Providers may receive these reminders through chart stickers, vital sign stamps, medical record flow sheets, and checklists. Provider reminders are often combined with other approaches.
The Community Preventive Services Task Force recommends provider reminder systems based on sufficient evidence of effectiveness in increasing provider delivery of advice to quit.
Provider reminder systems are recommended:
1. Whether used alone or as part of a multicomponent intervention (Provider Reminder Systems with Provider Education)
2. Across a range of intervention characteristics (chart stickers, checklists, and flowcharts)
3. In a variety of clinical settings and populations |
| Results / Accomplishments |
Results from the Systematic Reviews:
Seven studies qualified for the review.
• Four studies found a median of 32.5 percentage points in determining which clients use tobacco (during periods that extended from 8 to 24 months after beginning the programs).
• The evaluated techniques for prompting providers included chart prompts or stickers, "expanded vital signs" that include status of tobacco use, and flow sheets.
• These approaches have been shown to be effective in a variety of settings, including primary care and family practice clinics. |
