  • Successful Implementation of Tobacco Dependence Treatment Policy in a Behavioral Health Setting Using the “Addressing Tobacco Use Through Organizational Change” (ATTOC) Framework- A Best Practice Story from Ellis Mental Health (2017)
    This case study describes an example of successful implementation of Tobacco Dependence Treatment (TDT) policy utilizing the “Addressing Tobacco Use Through Organizational Change” (ATTOC) model; an evidence-based implementation framework that was designed specifically for TDT.   The study focuses on Ellis Mental Health’s Clinic and Personalized Recovery Oriented Services (PROS) programs, and their journey through the implementation of TDT and tobacco-free grounds utilizing the ATTOC model.  The study aims to provide a best practice example for other healthcare organizations attempting to implement tobacco dependence screening and treatment policies and tobacco-free grounds in a structured, organized way.
    Through a series of structured interviews with key individuals from Ellis Mental Health, as well as NYS Health Systems Improvement and Advancing Tobacco Free Communities experts, COE for HSI compiled the information contained within this study to assist those working to implement health systems improvement in the area of TDT.
