Abstract: This workshop is designed for anyone interested or influential in tobacco intervention programming in systems such as hospitals, managed care organizations, clinics, and health insurance companies. This will include but not be limited to health care administrators, insurers, purchasers, managed care organization managers, office managers, clinicians, and other health care workers. The workshop will introduce participants to the Public Health Service Clinical Practice Guideline Treating Tobacco Use and Dependence and how to incorporate its recommendations into practice. Topics covered in this facilitated discussion will include 1) integrating the “5 A’s”, 2) facilitating communication by such mechanisms as newsletters, 3) integrating quality improvement activities such as the development of baseline measurement for tobacco interventions, 4) developing and evaluating goals and objectives, 5) developing clinician training, and 6) developing strategies for the allocation of resources. In this interactive workshop, participants will 1) complete a self examination to assess current successful clinical systems, 2) examine methods to use these systems to integrate and expand support for tobacco interventions, 3) share current successful programming and 4) apply these successes to expansion or integration of tobacco interventions. Participants will have the opportunity to share program successes, ideas, and to develop strategies for their unique setting.
