Solving the Biggest Challenges
Tobacco Solutions can help solve two of the biggest challenges faced by healthcare providers seeking to help constituents become tobacco free: cost and effectiveness.
You already know that cessation programs can save both lives and healthcare dollars. But most programs are expensive. Most have serious enrollment challenges. And success rates aren't what they should be. You certainly can't help those you can't afford to reach. And when you do reach out, you want to know that your efforts will generate results.
Tobacco Solutions has assembled a world-class team of providers and products. We have combined the economies of scale offered by one of the world's most comprehensive providers of on-line smoking cessation services (Miavita) with one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world (Novartis Consumer Health, Inc.) and one of the fastest growing telephone-based providers of cessation services (beBetter Networks, Inc.) to offer an affordable alternative to high priced interventions. Our work is based on the Centers for Disease Control's "Best Practice Guidelines for Comprehensive Tobacco Cessation Programs".
Because we offer your members a wide variety of support options (phone, web or mail-based services), we attract a much larger percentage of tobacco users than traditional approaches. And our success rates should give you confidence. On average, 33 percent of participants who complete the Tobacco Solutions telephone intervention program have remained tobacco free at six-month follow up.(1) This success rate is equal to or better than nationally reported rates.
