Improving smoking history documentation in the electronic health record for lung cancer risk assessment and screening in primary care: A case study.

ABSTRACT: Improving risk factor documentation in the electronic health record (EHR) is important in order to determine patient eligibility for lung cancer screening. System-level prioritization combined with a clinic-level initiative can improve risk factor documentation rates. Multi-faceted interventions that include training, process improvement, data management, and continuous performance feedback are effective and can be integrated into existing workflows.
