QuitWorks Features

QuitWorks can fit into routine patient care - whether the setting is an office practice, a hospital, a health center, a public health program or a worksite.

 QuitWorks provides everything you need to put the program in place:

• The state's proven-effective stop-smoking services - telephone counseling, a website (Make Smoking History), self-help information, and referral to community tobacco treatment services
• A patient brochure - "Welcome Guide" for patients who consent to enroll in QuitWorks
• Patient status reports to referring providers - the provider will receive faxed information on the services each patient selects and, six months later, a report on each patient's quit status
• For hospitals and health centers, training for your nurses, physicians, and other clinicians - delivered on site by the University of Massachusetts Medical School - to introduce your staff to QuitWorks, brief patient motivational interviewing, and the latest pharmacotherapy dosing guidelines
• For hospitals and health centers, reports on patient outcomes - aggregate reports customized to satisfy JCAHO core measures and other reporting and research needs
