Tackling Smoking Reporting

Contact COMMUNICARE to perform steps 1 and 2 if the clinical items or reports are not available on your system.

Requirements:

1. Tackling Smoking dataset imported into Communicare (version 11.2 or later)

2. Tackling smoking reports imported into Communicare

3. Any local clinical item that is an indication of patient involvement in tobacco use services or QUIT workshops should belong to a clinical item group name 'Tobacco use services' or 'QUIT Workshops' respectively. (NB: the Quit workshops group will need to be created locally by your administrator).

There are two specific data collection items:

Review;Tackling Smoking

Followup;Tackling Smoking

These can be found by using the clinical item button and searching with the keyword 'TACKLING'. (Alternatively your administrator may put this on a clinical item button).

The review is used whenever reviewing Tackling Smoking with a client and the follow up is used when following this up. (Your administrator may automate a rule to trigger a recall for the follow up whenever a review is completed).

These are found in the Reports menu:

Clients and Smoking: This report looks at all client contacts between two dates and indicates if a smoking matter was recorded. The data is disaggregated by provider type.

Smoking matters include:

The recording of a smoking status qualifier (identified by the system codes of SMO or SMP); or

The recording of a clinical item that belongs to the 'Tobacco use service' group or the 'Quit workshops' group.

Export Report: This report is designed for export to Excel and shows all Tacking Smoking review items with their referral data.

Patients with ongoing support: This report identifies all clients who have had at least one Tackling Smoking review or follow up item recorded between two dates and further indicates those with a further item recorded within three months of another. The report includes subsequent items recorded after the last date of the report but not those recorded before the first date of the report.
