By collecting smoking status from all of your patients on a regular basis, you can improve population screening and chronic disease management and prevention. For example, after implementing smoking screening through Ocean, the Couchiching Family Health Team showed an increase in the number of smoking cessation program referrals (for more details, check out Couchiching FHT's Case Study).
Below, you will learn about how you can automate collection of smoking status on your tablets by pulling up this Smoking Screen form via Tablet Rules.
