As told by Dr. Clark @ AnMed Pediatrics QTIP team decided to pilot CEASE screening form with Dr. Clark. (in September) Presented form to AnMed for printing: AnMed got back to us that form would have to be changed, including scripts could not be a bottom of form (but would print separate scripts pads for gum and patch), and would have to be approved by forms committee before we could implement pilot October- started pilot w/o script pads found successful work flow w/ using model for improvement/ PDSA cycles. December- used lessons learned from pilot to spread to rest of practice. 5
Lessons Learned from Dr. Clark Very little push back from parents, one instance of questionable answers, found out the parents was mid quit and used the opportunity to celebrate with the family. Families were thankful to be offered cessation help! Found that insurance won t pay cessation counseling AND other billings for the day. Having a nurse do follow up calls to families who expressed desire to quit was helpful. EMR adjustments would be helpful for effective documentation 6
