CLAS is about respect and responsiveness: Respect the whole individual and Respond to their health needs and preferences. \nWhy is CLAS Important?\nCLAS helps advance health equity to ensure that every person can “attain his or her full health potential” and no one is “disadvantaged from achieving this potential because of social position or other socially determined circumstances.” While many factors impact health equity\, providing culturally and linguistically appropriate services is an effective strategy to ensure better health outcomes for diverse populations. \nJoin IPRO for a webinar series covering the themes and standards based on the HHS National Standards for Culturally and Linguistically Appropriate Services in Health and Health Care.  Complete the IPRO CLAS Assessment to understand where your organization is with its implementation of CLAS and use that to develop an action plan to address opportunities for improvement. This webinar series will walk through how to develop an action plan\, best practices\, and resources to help implement your action plan.

SUMMARY:Smoking Cessation- Care Teams Play a Key Role in Helping Patients Quit
DESCRIPTION:  \nSmoking leads to disease\, disability\, and harm in nearly every organ system. As with many chronic conditions\, reducing the impact of tobacco use can benefit from a team-based approach to care. \nPrevalence of tobacco use has increased during the pandemic in some areas\, while referral to evidence-based cessation programs has declined. Smoking cessation is helpful at any age\, and quitting improves health status\, and quality of life. \nIPRO QIN-QIO is hosting a discussion on Wednesday\, February 15\, at 1pm to explore how organizations can increase their referrals to evidence-based cessation programs and effectively engage community partners across the spectrum. \nAfter attending the session\, participants will be able to\, \n1. Recognize the impact of the pandemic on tobacco use\,\n2. Describe evidence-based strategies to assess tobacco use\, to provide cessation counseling\, and to refer for additional support\, and\n3. Establish a referral and feedback loop to track patients’ progress.
