In Oregon, many people who use tobacco do not take advantage of the State Tobacco Quit Line. In addition, prior to policy, systems and environmental (PSE) change efforts by the Oregon Health Authority, providers could only refer patients to the Quit Line via fax. Following discussions with stakeholders, the Oregon Health Authority, Public Health Division, identified and worked with several partners across Oregon to support bidirectional Quit Line e-referrals for the largest EHR system in Oregon.
