Implement and evaluate evidence-based cessation services in HCSD hospitals to improve disease outcomes. Key factors: Population-based perspective, evidence-driven approach, physician advice, media success, increased cost restrictions on smoking. Implementation planning includes conducting needs assessment, setting goals, developing evaluation plans, and identifying training needs. Program indicators aim to increase patient referrals for cessation treatment and follow-up contacts for quit attempts. Improvement strategies involve increasing attendance rates, physician support, and patient engagement. Future directions include hiring and training field staff, establishing a standardized database, and creating a formal indicator system to enhance tobacco control efforts.
