Radiology Facility Tobacco Cessation Toolkit
Researchers at Wake Forest University School of Medicine, led by the Department of Implementation Science, created an interactive, online toolkit designed to help radiology facilities implement smoking cessation for patients undergoing lung screening. The toolkit provides a tailored action plan on how to implement best practices for smoking cessation with responses to three simple questions. Development of this toolkit was established with funding support from the National Cancer Institute under award numbers R01CA207158 and UM1CA189824. The content is solely the responsibility of the creators and does not necessarily represent the official views of the National Institutes of Health.

What is an Academic Learning Health System?
Major teaching hospitals form the hub of academic medical centers, which give patients access to highly specialized services and advanced technology for diagnostics and treatment. This is particularly meaningful for our region, which is home to a high proportion of residents over age 65, who generally require more specialized care than younger patients.
