Literature describing experiences in the implementation of a smoke-free policy in a hospital suggests that, with careful preparation and close monitoring, a smoke-free policy can be successfully instituted. Despite this pervasive viewpoint, any hospital personnel considering the adoption of a smoke-free policy should be aware that the institution of such a policy may be quite difficult. The experience at University Hospital suggests that a strong policy statement, administrative support, and a comprehensive implementation plan have helped to achieve widespread compliance with the smoke-free policy among hospital employees. Unfortunately, the smoke-free policy has been less successful changing the smoking activities of the patients. Although others have not reported this compliance problem, we believe it is a real problem that many institutions will face. We present methods used to identify, combat, and monitor this compliance problem.
描述医院实施无烟政策经验的文献表明，通过精心准备和密切监测，可以成功制定无烟政策。尽管有这种普遍的观点，但任何考虑采用无烟政策的医院工作人员都应意识到，实施这样一项政策可能相当困难。大学医院的经验表明，强有力的政策声明、行政支持和全面的实施计划有助于使医院员工广泛遵守无烟政策。不幸的是，无烟政策在改变患者吸烟行为方面不太成功。尽管其他人没有报告这种合规问题，但我们认为这是许多机构将面临的一个实际问题。我们介绍了用于识别、应对和监测这一合规问题的方法。
