Clinician attitudes toward referring patients to pharmacists for tobacco cessation services
Background
The role of pharmacists in tobacco cessation has grown substantially in recent years, now including the ability to prescribe medications in many states. Although pharmacists can fill a gap in care by helping patients quit, other clinicians’ perceptions regarding referring patients to pharmacists for these services have not been described.
Objective
To characterize clinicians’ current referral patterns to pharmacists for tobacco cessation services, intention to refer in the future, and perceived barriers to and facilitators of referrals.
Methods
A cross-sectional survey was administered within a network of federally qualified health centers (FQHCs), which provides care to underserved patients. Guided by the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR), the survey assessed (a) clinicians’ sociodemographics, (b) interactions with pharmacists and referral practices, and (c) perceived barriers to and facilitators of patient referrals to network pharmacists for cessation assistance.
Results
Of 51 respondents (80% response), one third (n=17) reported referring one or more patients to a FQHC network pharmacist in the past for help with quitting tobacco. Most (84%) reported willingness to refer patients to pharmacists in the future, and 100% of the 17 clinicians who had previously referred patients strongly agreed that they would refer again in the future. For 8 of 12 CFIR measures (67%), significant differences were observed between clinicians who had previously referred patients to pharmacists and clinicians who had not.
Conclusion
Nonpharmacist clinicians in an FQHC expressed positive views toward a pharmacist-led tobacco cessation service, and prior experience with referrals was consistent with strong intentions for future referrals. Future studies should explore concerns regarding impact on workflow to identify and implement strategies for streamlining referrals for cessation services.
