Collection and Usage Attributes
Quality Improvement Payment (QIP) incentive payments have been introduced by Department of Health to improve the number of public hospital inpatients offered the Smoking Cessation Clinical Pathway. The Smoking Cessation Clinical Pathway form was developed by the Statewide Respiratory Clinical Network and is an evidence based decision support tool to aid health staff in assisting patients to quit smoking tobacco.

Clinicians (e.g. nurses, pharmacists, allied health practitioners, and medical officers) are responsible for completing the Smoking Cessation Clinical Pathway form and ensuring it is filed in the patient's medical record prior to separation.

Clinical coders assess if filed Smoking Cessation Clinical Pathways are deemed complete by reviewing the grey sections on page 1 only. A completed Smoking Cessation Clinical Pathway equates to documented evidence of the following criteria:
- for identified smokers (question 1 = Yes) at least one box must be marked in each grey section (i.e. for each of questions 1, 4, 9 and 10), and
- all four columns in the Signature Log (name, designation, signature and date) must be completed.

Code N No
A Smoking Cessation Clinical Pathway form has not been completed (or completed correctly) for the patient who self-identifies as being a current smoker of tobacco.

Code Y Yes
A Smoking Cessation Clinical Pathway form has been completed for the patient who self-identifies as being a current smoker of tobacco.
Must not be null when Episode of admitted patient care-tobacco smoking status of patient is code 1 (Reported a current smoker within last 30 days).
Must be null when Episode of admitted patient care-tobacco smoking status of patient is code 2 (Reported not a current smoker) or code 9 (No smoking status reported or documented).
Note: v3.00 of the Smoking Cessation Clinical Pathway form dated 07/04/2014 must be used for QIP. Further information on QIP Smoking Cessation can be found on QHEPS: INTERNAL QH LINK NOT AVAILABLE.
