Story Behind the Curve
Johnston County Health Department clinicians from Primary Care, Behavioral Health, and BCCCP/Wisewoman programs refer patients to QuitlineNC using primarily fax referrals, in addition to other healthcare providers in Johnston County. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted patient appointments and tobacco cessation referrals. Clinicians are slowly moving toward eReferrals rather than fax referrals.
Annual data represents July 20XX-June 20XX. For example, values for 2020 reflect July 2019-June 2020. The spike during early 2020 could be a reflection of pre- COVID-19 pandemic or early COVID-19 pandemic quitting. During COVID-19 and since the pandemic, many patients stopped going to primary care providers (PCPs) and well visits.
