Presenter – Dr. Pawan Gupta M.Ch. Director Surgical Oncology, MAX EZ, and founder ICanCaRe

POSTER – FEASIBILITY STUDY OF ORAL CARE AND TOBACCO CESSATION CENTRE IN A CORPORATE HOSPITAL

139 cases were analyzed in the observational study at the oral care and Tobacco Cessation center at MAX Hospital, Vaishali.

The quit rate as compared to historical data reported was substantially high 92% at 3 months to 39% at 2 years.

Such specialized dedicated centers save time for the treating clinician and ensure increased satisfaction amongst the patient and relatives giving them a feeling of empathy and care.

The hospital gains in many ways both directly and indirectly to meet more than its expected Return on investment.

The study highlights

  • that such centers are feasible and viable in multi – Speciality hospitals and it is the need of the hour.
  • establish the much-needed protocol for intervention to improve the working and outcome of such centers.
