A Patient-Oriented Research Mentoring Program in Tobacco Dependence and Implementation Science Research

"The clinician nudge will use the BPA functionality within the electronic medical record to deliver a message with a defaulted option to refer to the health system's tobacco treatment program. Changing the default to no referral will require an explanation using the options provided or by entering free text."

The patient nudge will deliver a message within 72 hours of a patient's next scheduled clinic visit. The message will be delivered through the Penn patient portal (MyPennMedicine) or by text with security measures for privacy.
