Paid Sponsorship by the Ohio Chapter, American Academy of Pediatrics
Reducing tobacco smoke exposure lessens risks immediately for infants, such as sleep-related deaths and asthma. Over a child’s life, less home smoke exposure can mean less repeat sick visits for problems like respiratory and ear infections, and healthier caregivers.
The Ohio Chapter, American Academy of Pediatrics (Ohio AAP) Smoke Free Families (SFF) program is now offering practices an opportunity to promote lifelong health for the entire family while earning immediate benefits for providers.
As staffing limitations and COVID-19 cases continue to impact healthcare providers in Ohio, finding ways to seamlessly incorporate practice transformation, earn quality improvement (QI) credit, and ensure financial viability for projects is more important than ever. Wave 5 of SFF features a streamlined process built on feedback from pediatricians who have completed the program. Receive necessary training and resources to help get credit for many efforts already in place to reduce tobacco smoke exposure and promote safe sleep for infants – with minimal new steps to implement into your busy practice.
