Overview of the Addressing Tobacco in Managed Care National Program

From 1997-2005, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation funded a two-part national program, Addressing Tobacco in Managed Care (ATMC). ATMC’s goal was to evaluate systems-level changes to improve the delivery of tobacco dependence treatment to members of managed care plans, and to foster managed care plans’ ability to deliver such treatments through ongoing technical assistance. This initiative consisted of a National Program Office co-located at the University of Wisconsin and the University of Illinois-Chicago and co-directed by Drs. Michael Fiore and Sue Curry, and a National Technical Assistance Office located at America’s Health Insurance Plans (AHIP) and directed by Carmella Bocchino, RN, MBA.

The new Addressing Tobacco in Healthcare Research Network will build upon the accomplishments of ATMC and help to create new resources to sustain its innovations.
