Evolution of the TCI
Outgrowth of JCAHO Core Measures (CAP, CHF) and Medicaid C.C. Quality Improvement projects:
Required screening for smoking Outcome measure: % provision cessation
counseling
• Eligible patients located throughout 2 institutions
•Core measures not being met: no data available for reporting
![Page 6: It’s time we made smoking history. 6. A Case Example New England Medical Center Cathy Milch, MD Co-Presenters: Amy Simon, MD Susan Campbell, PhD.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062409/5697bff71a28abf838cbea19/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

Evolution of the TCI
ProblemHow to identify smokers to measure provision of cessation counseling for
eligible patients?
Solution Broad-based effort needed: Expand
initiative throughout hospital
![Page 7: It’s time we made smoking history. 6. A Case Example New England Medical Center Cathy Milch, MD Co-Presenters: Amy Simon, MD Susan Campbell, PhD.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062409/5697bff71a28abf838cbea19/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
7
Evolution of the TCI
• Clinicians: All patients must benefit • Hospital leadership: Screening not enough,
must provide cessation assistance• QI team: Assess for all types of tobacco use
Tapped latent feelings“Our long-overdue responsibility”
From Focused QI Project to Hospital-wide Initiative: How did it happen?
![Page 8: It’s time we made smoking history. 6. A Case Example New England Medical Center Cathy Milch, MD Co-Presenters: Amy Simon, MD Susan Campbell, PhD.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062409/5697bff71a28abf838cbea19/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Planning and Development
Occurred in stages driven by:
• Desire to implement evidence-based “best practice”
• Institutional capabilities and available resources
• New ideas • Solutions to barriers
“Think big, start small”

Planning and Development: Initial Steps
Secured executive hospital leadership support (medical and nursing)
Formed multi-disciplinary team Included leaders in JCAHO and QI projects Physician leaders Nursing and education leaders Interpreter Services
Identified unit-based nurse champions
![Page 10: It’s time we made smoking history. 6. A Case Example New England Medical Center Cathy Milch, MD Co-Presenters: Amy Simon, MD Susan Campbell, PhD.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062409/5697bff71a28abf838cbea19/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

Planning and Development:Goals
• Assess every patient for tobacco use
• Document tobacco use status
• Advise tobacco users to quit
• Offer in-hospital cessation assistance
• Sustain motivation to quit after discharge
Make it easy and acceptable for
patients and clinicians!

Planning and Development: How to Achieve Goals?
Screening for tobacco use• To be done for every patient on
admission/ outpatient visit• Developed standardized form and
protocol (the Tobacco Use Questionnaire)
• Modified for inpatient and outpatient use • Translated into 8 foreign languages
![Page 12: It’s time we made smoking history. 6. A Case Example New England Medical Center Cathy Milch, MD Co-Presenters: Amy Simon, MD Susan Campbell, PhD.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062409/5697bff71a28abf838cbea19/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
TOBACCO USE QUESTIONNAIRE
Smoking harms the heart, lungs, and the blood. Heart attack, lung disease, and cancer are more common in people who smoke. Heart and lung disease are made worse by smoking. Use of other tobacco products can also cause cancer. People in the home or community can be harmed by breathing the smoke of others. No one should smoke. Quitting smoking and the use of other tobacco products can improve health.

Planning and Development: How to Achieve Goals?
Cessation Assistance TUQ provides education at screening TUQ prompts patients to consider
assistance Patient educational materials available
in each unit Monthly CE sessions for RNS and MDs Referral to free outpatient cessation
service: Quitworks
![Page 14: It’s time we made smoking history. 6. A Case Example New England Medical Center Cathy Milch, MD Co-Presenters: Amy Simon, MD Susan Campbell, PhD.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062409/5697bff71a28abf838cbea19/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Planning and Development: Incorporation of Quitworks
Modification of Quitworks enrollment form:
• Enhance ease of use for hospital staff• Identify referring hospital• Identify patient’s PCP or Specialist • Enable Quitworks staff to follow-up with PCP directly, not hospital
• Ensure HIPAA compliance
![Page 15: It’s time we made smoking history. 6. A Case Example New England Medical Center Cathy Milch, MD Co-Presenters: Amy Simon, MD Susan Campbell, PhD.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062409/5697bff71a28abf838cbea19/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Implementation: Steps
• Developed protocol for use of forms• Trained Tobacco Treatment Specialist • Provided specialized training for Interpreters • Developed and held monthly CE sessions• Recruited additional clinical leaders • Piloted forms and process on 2 nursing units • Created institutional website

Implementation: Pharmacological Therapy Issues
• Not all products on hospital formulary
• Limited member benefits for NRT
• NRT started during inpatient stay may not
be covered after discharge
• Medicaid does not cover NRT
• In-hospital NRT use: Data indicate safety,
but clinician doubt high and Rx low
![Page 23: It’s time we made smoking history. 6. A Case Example New England Medical Center Cathy Milch, MD Co-Presenters: Amy Simon, MD Susan Campbell, PhD.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062409/5697bff71a28abf838cbea19/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
23
Implementation: Extension to Outpatient Units
More decentralized, so requires: Buy-in from division chiefs and clinic
managers Emphasis on cost-savings/work
reduction Clinic-individualized process Easy access to forms (institutional
intranet)
![Page 24: It’s time we made smoking history. 6. A Case Example New England Medical Center Cathy Milch, MD Co-Presenters: Amy Simon, MD Susan Campbell, PhD.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062409/5697bff71a28abf838cbea19/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

Current Status
Pilot roll-out: 50% of smokers accepted Quitworks referral
TUQ in use in 5 inpatient units All forms on website CE sessions (% impact):
RNs: 10% Attendings: 7% (PCPs: 80%) Medical residents: 65%
Quitworks referrals (6/2 – 10/31): 57

Estimated Benefit of TCI
16,000 inpatients/yr x 5 min/ TUQ = 1,333 additional RN hrs. (0.6FTE)
4,000/yr inpatient smokers (25%) x 10 min/counseling = 667 additional RN hrs.
If 50% enroll Quitworks* = 2,000/yr. 200 additional pts/year will quit200 additional pts/year will quit (10%**) 1,333 + 667 RN hrs / 200 quitters =
10 RN hrs / quitter = “A Shift to Quit” *Based on pilot data
**Double baseline rate

Estimated Benefit of TCI
33% of smokers die prematurely due to tobacco
Projected estimated future benefit: - - 6767 (33%x200) (33%x200) T-NEMC patients/yr will notpatients/yr will not diedie premature smoking related deaths! - Estimated cost: 2,000 additional RN hours
Estimated Cost/Benefit: 30 RN hours per life saved

Future Plans
• Hospital Tobacco Cessation policy
• Institutional Cessation Program
• Employee Health screening and cessation program
• Employee non-tobacco-user benefit
• Community Outreach/Cessation Programs
• Internal collaborations (Nephrology)
• External grant funding
• External collaborations and partnerships

T-NEMC Lessons Learned
Secure executive leadership support early Find dedicated personnel to lead and
implement To date: ~1,000 hrs. unpaid + 600 hrs. paid
Recruit new volunteers continuously Use personal connections Search multiple funding sources: community
initiatives, pharmaceutical, etc. Survey, monitor, revise, revise, compromise

Bottom Line
Realize it requires a great deal of effort by a few but the rewards are enormous: Patient health Clinician fulfillment Institutional reputation Community benefit
