Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this presentation attendees will be able to:
- Describe the PHS Tobacco Clinical Practice Guideline interventions and systems change strategies. Explain the components of the micro-level Implementation Process Model for employing the PHS Guideline in an individual clinic. List at least three micro-level strategies for implementing each component of the Model in an individual clinic.
- Audience:
Clinicians and clinical administrators will most likely benefit from this workshop.
Key Points:
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office on Women’s Health (OWH), convened Federal partners to implement the Public Health Service’s Treating Tobacco Use and Dependence: 2008 Update (the Guideline) for women of childbearing age in underserved clinics. The Guideline recommends interventions for tobacco cessation and discusses systems change strategies. Derived from the lessons learned, the Model includes practical “how-to” information about:
- Assessing current status;
- Identifying champion/leader(s);
- Planning data collection and evaluation;
- Determining funding/reimbursement;
- Formulating policies and internal links;
- Establishing external linkages;
- Providing training;
- Delivering interventions; and
- Assessing and evaluating the program.
Educational Experience:
The poster will provide clear concise information on the lessons learned from implementing a Public Health Service Tobacco Guideline initiative. The audience will be able to process the information displayed, and compare those concepts to current tobacco cessation models at their own clinic.
Benefits:
The benefits of the workshop will assist the audience identifying practical steps and micro-level strategies to help improve success in Guideline implementation in individual clinics.
