The Integrating Prevention into Connect Care (IPiC) for Health initiative will involve screening patients to identify and address tobacco use, alcohol use, or physical inactivity during their appointment or hospital admission, with the intention of creating more opportunities to have conversations around behaviour change.

For patients screened as “medium” or “high risk,” they will be offered information about how these risk factors may impact their health, and/or a referral to community resources which will offer the patient ongoing support if they feel ready to make changes. The screening results and whether referrals were made will be communicated with the patient's primary care provider on discharge summaries or consult summaries/notes on Netcare.

We are seeking your anonymous feedback on how we share your patient’s screening information with you to ensure it is helpful to you in supporting your patients around their goals to address tobacco use, alcohol use, or physical inactivity. Specifically, we would like to:

1. Know what information would be most helpful for you to receive about your patient

2. Learn your preferred method of receiving information about your patients (embedded with discharge/summary notes or separate note/letter)

Below is an example of the proposed communication on discharge summary or after-visit note/letter. Please provide any feedback on the proposed communication.

Alberta Health Services is rolling out a Screening, Brief Intervention and Referral initiative within AHS facilities to identify and address patients’ tobacco use, alcohol use, and physical activity. Your patient was screened as part of this initiative:

- Tobacco use: [HIGH RISK]

- Alcohol use: [MEDIUM/HIGH RISK]

- Physical activity: [MEDIUM/HIGH RISK]

A brief intervention on behaviour change was conducted with your patient for the above factors and they were offered an informational brochure.

Your patient was referred to community resources.

You may wish to follow up with your patient about their screening results and referral(s), and current readiness to change.

What is your preferred way of receiving this information?
