Intake, Assessment and Treatment Planning Guide
The CTTRT, with the Massachusetts General Hospital Tobacco Research and Treatment Center, developed an Intake, Assessment and Treatment Planning guide to assist clinicians to conduct a thorough patient assessment and develop a treatment plan.
The Guide walks the clinician through how to use this tool and includes a blank template, a case study with a sample completed intake and assessment form, and a quick guide to pharmacotherapy.
You can join the QuitWorks Community and stay up to date on current promotions, services and tips for helping smokers.
