Summary
A new electronic health record system significantly increased healthcare providers
Area of Science:
- Public Health
- Health Services Research
- Behavioral Medicine
Background:
- Tobacco use is a leading cause of preventable death in the U.S.
- State quitlines are effective tobacco cessation interventions but have low referral rates.
- A gap exists in integrating quitline referrals into clinical practice.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop and evaluate a new electronic health record-based referral system for nicotine dependence treatment.
- To improve patient referral rates to state quitlines and community resources.
- To assess the usability and adoption potential of the new system among healthcare providers.
Main Methods:
- Stakeholder feedback was gathered to update an existing nicotine dependence order set (NDO).
- The updated NDO included links to state quitlines and social determinants of health resources.
- Surveys measured intention to use, acceptance, appropriateness, and feasibility before and after dissemination to leadership and clinicians.
Main Results:
- Pre-intervention, only 10-13% of providers used the existing NDO.
- Post-intervention, nearly 100% of providers intended to use the new NDO.
- Acceptance, appropriateness, and feasibility were rated highly by both leadership and clinicians.
Conclusions:
- The new electronic health record-based NDO shows high potential for improving tobacco cessation referrals.
- Provider intention to use and perceived usability are strong.
- Further research is needed to confirm adoption, sustainability, and impact on smoking cessation outcomes.

01:23Drugs Acting on Autonomic Ganglia: Stimulants
1.2K
Ganglionic stimulants activate NM nicotinic receptors in autonomic ganglia, falling into two categories: nicotine mimetics [e.g., lobeline, dimethylpiperazine, tetramethylammonium] and muscarinic receptor agonists [e.g., muscarine, methacholine]. The first category's action is rapid and blocked by nicotinic receptor antagonists, while the second category's action is delayed and blocked by atropine-like agents. Nicotine, an alkaloid, affects the heart rate by stimulating...

01:27CNS Depressants: Alcohol and Nicotine
159
Ethanol, a clear colorless alcohol, has been consumed by humans for millennia, but its effects on the body are far from benign. At lower doses, it induces decreased inhibitions and loquaciousness, leading to its social appeal. However, it can cause severe consequences at higher doses, such as coma and respiratory depression, due to its zero-order elimination kinetics. Chronic ethanol abuse wreaks havoc on multiple organ systems, particularly the CNS and the liver. Abrupt cessation of ethanol...

01:17Drug Dependence

Medications are typically administered to achieve therapeutic effects. Some drugs can modify an individual's mood and perception, frequently resulting in various enjoyable experiences. However, this can result in drug dependency, a condition marked by continuous drug use despite potential negative consequences. Drug dependency primarily falls into two categories: psychological and physical dependence. Psychological dependence occurs when the pleasurable feelings induced by the drug...

Creating and executing a nursing diagnosis helps nurses plan care and guide patient, family, and community interventions. They are developed based on a patient's physical evaluation and support measuring the outcomes. It is not recommended to select random interventions throughout the planning process. Instead, consider the following six essential factors when choosing interventions:

01:15Drug Abuse and Addiction: Pharmacological Phenomena
411
Drug dependence, abuse, and addiction are complex phenomena that can precipitate various abnormal states. Physical dependence refers to a state of pharmacological adaptation to a drug. This adaptation often results in tolerance—a reduced response to the drug after repeated administrations. When the drug use is abruptly stopped, withdrawal symptoms occur due to the body's need to readjust from the pharmacologically induced imbalance. However, tolerance and withdrawal symptoms do not...

01:30Combined Effects of Drugs: Antagonism
8.1K
The combined effects of drugs can result in various interactions, of which an important type is antagonism. Antagonism is a mechanism where one drug inhibits or counteracts the effects of another drug. Antagonism can occur through various means, including receptor binding, allosteric modulation, functional interaction, chemical reactions, and pharmacokinetic processes.
The most common type is receptor antagonism, where one drug acts as an antagonist to block the effects of another drug by...
