Automatically enroll every tobacco-using patient
in evidence-based treatment
Quit Plan Manager connects to your EHR, identifies eligible tobacco users, enrolls them unless they decline, coordinates specialist outreach, documents care, returns outcomes to the chart, and gives leaders visibility into treatment, compliance, and financial performance.
Six steps. Workflow automation for tobacco treatment.
QPM connects the EHR, patients, tobacco treatment specialists, documentation, and reporting so tobacco treatment becomes a reliable operating workflow rather than a memory-dependent referral process.
EHR Integration
QPM receives patient data electronically from your EHR the day of admission, visit, or surgical scheduling.
Automated Referrals
Analyses patient data and assigns each to the most appropriate tobacco care pathway. Eliminates manual referrals and frontline provider burden entirely.
Opt-Out Enrollment
Tobacco users are automatically enrolled under presumed consent unless they expressly decline. Less than 1% opt out — near-universal program reach.
Proactive Follow-Up
QPM follows up for up to 6 months via personalised voice calls, emails, and texts — checking on status, motivation, and medication use.
Timely Triage
At each contact, patients are offered immediate connection to quit specialists, internal resources, or state quitlines. Timely triage improves quit outcomes.
Data Loop & Reporting
Outcomes from all treatment resources flow back automatically to the patient's chart in the EHR. Robust reporting supports quality improvements, management visibility and billing when appropriate.
Choose your healthcare setting
Start with the page closest to your organization. Each page explains the workflow, proof, financial model, and demo next step for that setting.
Net new revenue with minimal additional physician time.
Bill under your own NPI for counseling performed by a specialist under your general supervision — net-new revenue from patients already in your panel. One standing order triggers everything.

Standardize tobacco treatment across all sites.
Peer-reviewed evidence from MUSC's Tobacco Dependence Treatment Service — powered by QPM. One year treatment cost savings of $2,920 for participating patients. Program cost - $34 per tobacco user.
Operationalize CoC Standard 5.9 without adding manual workflow.
Treatment costs associated with continued smoking by patients with cancer have been conservatively estimated at $11,000 in added costs per smoking patient.
Passive referral waits for action. Opt-out enrollment makes treatment the default.
Most tobacco programs fail because the referral step depends on busy clinicians, inconsistent documentation, and patient follow-through. QPM uses existing EHR data to make outreach happen automatically unless the patient declines.
Passive referral
- Depends on clinician memory and available time.
- Reaches only a fraction of eligible tobacco users.
- Creates inconsistent documentation and reporting.
- Leaves leaders without reliable program visibility.
QPM opt-out enrollment
- Uses EHR triggers to identify eligible patients.
- Enrolls every tobacco user unless they decline.
- Standardizes outreach, documentation, and outcomes.
- Produces measurable compliance, treatment, and ROI data.
Presumed consent. Proven results.
The opt-out approach assumes patients want services that improve their health — unless they expressly decline. The data consistently confirms they do.
of patients ask to be removed
Fewer than 1 in 100 tobacco users declines further contact. Near-universal program reach that manual or opt-in referral systems cannot match.
Nahhas GJ — "Who Opted Out of an Opt-Out Smoking-Cessation Programme for Hospitalised Patients?"Ethically grounded
Presumed consent assumes individuals want to participate in services that may improve their health unless they expressly decline. Validated in published healthcare ethics literature from Mayo Clinic.
Ohde JW, Mayo Clinic — "Presumed Consent with Opt-Out: An Ethical Consent Approach to Automatically Refer Patients with Cancer to Tobacco Treatment Services"Program continuity, operationalized
QPM keeps follow-up on a scheduled workflow regardless of staff holidays, role changes, or retirements — reducing the risk that tobacco users are lost from follow-up due to personnel changes.
State quitline integration
Bi-directional data exchange with state quitline vendors. Referrals programmatic, outcomes flow automatically. MUSC refers more patients to the SC Quitline than any other program in the state.
What our partners say
QPM is trusted by leading academic medical centres, cancer programs, and health systems across North America.
Our Tobacco Treatment Program at MUSC was an early implementor of the opt-out approach and Quit Plan Manager has played a key role since the beginning. We started with inpatients in 3 hospitals and have now expanded to 5 additional hospitals, 2 emergency departments, the Hollings Cancer Center, and 43 related cancer clinics

Gibbs Cancer Center integrated with Quit Plan Manager through the Epic Connection Hub. After one year, 627 patients had accepted Quitline referrals — over ten times the average of only 60 referrals annually in previous years.
The Quit Plan Manager platform has been supporting our 'No Smoker Left Behind' program for several years. Tobacco users are automatically enrolled and outcomes flow back to their charts. This saves a tremendous amount of work for staff.

The program does not disappear into a black box.
QPM is designed to close the loop with the clinical record and leadership reporting. Exact writeback fields are configured during implementation, but the operating model supports the information healthcare teams need to track care.
Patient activity
Enrollment status, opt-out status, outreach attempts, session completion, and engagement history.
Clinical summaries
Counseling summaries, medication or prescription recommendations, quit status, and follow-up outcomes.
Operational reporting
Program reach, treatment rates, completion, compliance evidence, billing-support documentation, and ROI reporting.
Built for the systems you already use
QPM integrates seamlessly with Epic and other major EHR platforms. For most health systems, implementation can begin within days of a signed agreement.
Research, tools & guidance
TelASK has participated in numerous published randomised trials establishing the effectiveness of structured tobacco treatment programs.
