Video Summary

Sequence 4625, Tobacco Use, is a data element that captures information about a patient's tobacco use. It aligns with industry standards and can be directly captured from electronic medical records (EMRs). The data element indicates the frequency of tobacco use. When patients have smoked at least 100 cigarettes in their lifetime but currently do not smoke, the code "FORMER" should be used for Sequence 4625. Sequence 4626, Tobacco Type, is a child field of Sequence 4625 and captures information about the specific types of tobacco products used by the patient. This includes cigarettes, cigars, pipe, and smokeless tobacco. However, e-cigarettes, vaping products, and marijuana are not included in this data element.
