“…To mitigate this, the Queensland Mental Health Alcohol and Other Drugs Branch has incorporated these smoking clinical indicators into statewide Key Performance Indicators for MHS. This strategy has proved successful in sustaining improvements in other clinical practice change interventions supported by the MHCC (Plever et al, 2012). This review did not examine the impact of the Quality Improvement Payment to MHS results.…”

“…This change meant that for the first time MHS could not seek exemptions for designated smoking areas and needed to consider how to implement statewide smokefree healthcare. The Queensland Mental Health Clinical Collaborative (MHCC) was considered a method to support the embedding of smoking care into routine clinical practice with demonstrated success in statewide practice change (Plever et al, 2010(Plever et al, , 2012(Plever et al, , 2016. The methodology underpinning the MHCC is based on the Institute for Healthcare Improvement Model (Ovretveit et al, 2002) that has been adapted to meet the needs of Queensland MHS.…”

Objective: To review a clinical practice improvement approach to statewide implementation of smoking care in adult acute mental health inpatient units across public mental health services in Queensland. Method: Queensland public mental health services, with adult acute inpatient units, joined a statewide collaborative to work together to increase the routine screening of smoking and delivery of a Smoking Cessation Clinical Pathway brief intervention to identified smokers. Results: Over a 2-year period, statewide improvements were demonstrated in the recording of smoking status (88–97%) and in the provision of a brief smoking cessation intervention to smokers (38–73%). In addition, all individual mental health services increased the delivery of a brief intervention to identified smokers and the recording of smoking status either improved or remained at high levels. Conclusion: Smoking remains an ongoing challenge for mental health services and one of the most important physical health issues for people living with a mental illness. The ability to implement statewide smoking care in public mental health services is an important step in shifting poor health outcomes. The clinical practice change approach adopted in Queensland has demonstrated encouraging outcomes in improving the delivery of smoking care that has been sustained over a 2-year period.

All consumers were open to a community mental health service included in the study during the reference periods.…”
