The Tobacco Starter Pick List is used to record past and present tobacco use.  This list is prepared by SOAPware to record all three requirements (smoking status, tobacco use, and tobacco cessation) for Meaningful Use criteria.  It may not contain all the items you will use in your charting.

In SOAPware, text that appears Blue and Underlined indicates that a Pick List is attached to the SMARText item.

1.  Left click on the Pick List header (ie: Smoker Status)

2.  A list of items will appear in the SMARText Quick Access Dialog.

Left clicking on each Pick List header seen above, will display a list of items in the SMARText Quick Access Dialog.

With the Tobacco Pick List displayed in the SMARText Quick Access dialog, click to place a check in the box in the "Selected" field next to each of the items that you wish to insert into the Tobacco field.

After the items are inserted, the starter Tobacco Pick List header will disappear.
