Clinical impacts of an integrated electronic health record-based smoking cessation intervention during hospitalisation.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To assess the effects of an electronic health record (EHR) intervention that prompts the clinician to prescribe nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) at hospital admission and discharge in a large integrated health system.

Design

Retrospective cohort study using interrupted time series (ITS) analysis leveraging EHR data generated before and after implementation of the 2015 EHR-based intervention.

Setting

Kaiser Permanente Northern California, a large integrated health system with 4.2 million members.

Participants

Current smokers aged ≥18 hospitalised for any reason.

Exposure

EHR-based clinical decision supports that prompted the clinician to order NRT on hospital admission (implemented February 2015) and discharge (implemented September 2015).
