Plots of implementation maintenance across time. Notes: Panel A shows rates of roomer documentation of assessment of patient readiness to quit within the next 30 days (solid line) and documentation of patient reports of readiness to quit within 30 days (dashed line) in the 4 months preceding and 8 months following electronic referral (eReferral) launch. Panel B shows rates of eReferral to the Wisconsin Tobacco Quit Line (WTQL) during implementation (solid line), fax referral to the WTQL pre-implementation and during implementation (dotted line; in months −4 to −1 this includes referrals from all clinics in the healthcare system; in months 0–7, this includes fax referrals from only the 30 primary care clinics of interest in this study), and acceptance of WTQL services among all referred (regardless of referral method, dashed line).
aThe rate for this outcome at this time point is significantly higher than the rate for the same outcome at all subsequent time points combined at p<0.05 in a χ2 test.
bThe rate for this outcome at this time point is significantly lower than the rate for the same outcome at all subsequent time points combined at p<0.05 in a χ2 test.
