What is Health Systems Change?

Patients who work with their healthcare providers are ultimately more successful in their attempts to quit using tobacco. We help local healthcare providers, clinics, and hospitals implement evidence-based interventions for their organization with all tobacco users. We provide FREE consultation and training for healthcare professionals using the strategies below.

STRATEGIES

  • Provide education, resources, and feedback to promote provider intervention

  • Implement a tobacco-user identification mechanism in every clinic/access point

  • Dedicate staff to tobacco dependence treatment

  • Assess treatment in performance evaluations

  • Develop and promote policies to provide in-patient and out-patient tobacco dependence services

  • Include evidence-based tobacco dependence treatments (counseling and medication) as a paid or covered service
