While the short-term effectiveness of hospital cessation programs has been documented less is known about long-term sustainability.

Methods Six hospitals that differed on OMSC program activities identify and document smokers advise quitting provide medication and offer follow-up were intentionally selected and two key informants per hospital were interviewed using a semi-structured interview guide. Key informants were asked to reflect on the initial decision to implement the OMSC the current implementation process and perceived sustainability of the program. Qualitative analysis of the interview transcripts was conducted and themes related to problem definition stakeholder influence and program features emerged.
