IHA was recently awarded a Health Systems Change Partnership grant from the Indiana
State Department of Health to build the capacity of health systems to routinely
assess and address tobacco use. IHA is seeking two to three member hospitals
willing to integrate tobacco dependence treatment into the continuum of care to
participate in a pilot program. The pilot sites will be asked to examine
existing workflow processes and care models to incorporate tobacco cessation
services and follow-up. For more information, contact Rachel Kimmel, tobacco
prevention and cessation quality advisor, at rkimmel@IHAconnect.org.
