چکیده
Background Alcohol screening and brief intervention (SBI) programs have been shown to be effective in reducing risky alcohol consumption among primary care patients [1-3]. Although various implementation protocols exist, it can be difficult to launch and sustain SBI programs. A number of barriers exist, including those related to clinical workflow, the intake process, and the incorporation of protocols into electronic health records (EHR)[4-6]. This study aims to present challenges and potential solutions to incorporating SBI as a standard of care into an existing EHR of a family medicine system.
