Health care institutions can no longer treat only the sequelae of tobacco use. Smoking-cessation programs must be instituted to meet health promotion and education goals developed on admission for all patients. Leading authorities, such as the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Health Care Organizations and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, now include tobacco-cessation counseling as quality performance measures. This article discusses successful strategies that health care professionals have used at St. Joseph's/Candler Health System in Savannah, Georgia, to meet these standards.
医疗机构不能再仅仅治疗烟草使用的后遗症。必须设立戒烟项目，以实现为所有患者入院时制定的健康促进和教育目标。诸如医疗保健机构认证联合委员会和医疗保险与医疗补助服务中心等主要权威机构，现在将戒烟咨询纳入质量绩效衡量标准。本文讨论了佐治亚州萨凡纳市圣约瑟夫/坎德勒医疗系统的医疗保健专业人员为达到这些标准所采用的成功策略。
