Expectations for Selected Presenters

LEARNING TRACKS
Your session proposal must align with one of the four learning tracks described below.
Important Note: the examples of session topics listed below are merely intended to provide guidance and further definition for each of the tracks and are not exhaustive lists of what is possible.

(1) Innovative strategies and solutions for ensuring quitline accessibility and utilization
This track will highlight novel approaches to service operations, service offerings, outreach and promotion designed to ensure or improve accessibility and utilization and respond to shifts in volume and budgets.

Examples of possible sessions include:
  • Specialized Counseling Protocol Development, Testing and Implementation for Priority Populations
  • Using Predictive Dialer System to Increase Efficiency and Timeliness of Follow Up
  • Using Web-based Applications to Manage Increases in Call Volume
(2) Emerging practice in quitline promotion and referral
Sessions in this track will explore the latest methods, mediums and messages utilized by quitlines to increase consumer demand and build support for quitlines.

Examples of possible sessions include:
  • 2nd and 3rd "generation” Fax-Referral Programs – How Our Work Continues to Improve
  • Using a Community Development Approach to Quitline Promotion
  • Exploring the Fully-Automated Referral: EHR with Electronic Submission
(3) Securing sustainability through systems-change, integration and partnerships
This track will take an in-depth look at ways in which quitlines have partnered and integrated with systems (Medicaid; employers; community-based organizations; healthcare) to share costs, build referrals, increase reach, and improve services.

Examples of possible sessions include:
  • Building Public-Private Partnerships
  • Working with Medicaid to Secure Federal Financial Participation for Services to Beneficiaries
  • Partnering with Community-Based Organizations to Increase Quitline Reach
(4) Building better practice through research and evaluation
Sessions in this track will highlight recent evidence, evaluation data, and analyses and how these data have been used to make quality improvements to service delivery and design.

Examples of possible sessions include:
  • Engaging Community Partners in the Analysis of Annual Quitline Evaluation Data
  • Making Use of KIQNIC Data: What Have We Learned and Why Does it Matter?
  • From Evaluation Report to Quality Improvement Initiative: Using Your Data to Get Where You Want to Go
SESSION TYPE
The online session proposal form will require you to choose the type of session that you wish to present. Each conference session will be 90 minutes in length. Presenter(s) has the option of proposing to deliver a full 90-minute session or proposing a 45 minute session that the conference planning workgroup will pair with another session featuring a similar topic.

We hope to encourage creativity, participatory sessions and outside-of-the-box thinking when it comes to designing and delivering conference sessions.
You will be asked to choose from one of the six session types below:

Presentation (90 minutes)
Presentation (45 minutes)
Presentation (either 90 or 45 minutes)

Expert Panel Discussion (90 minutes)
An expert panel discussion will provide an opportunity to hear several people knowledgeable about a specific issue or topic present information and discuss personal views. A panel discussion may help the audience further clarify and evaluate their positions regarding specific issues or topics being discussed and increase their understanding of others' positions.
Source: http://www.maxwell.syr.edu/plegal/crit3/a7.html.

Interactive Roundtable (90 minutes)
Roundtables are informal conversations among colleagues with a common interest. The goal is to encourage idea sharing, problem solving and networking. Your role as presenter/facilitator is to get the conversation started, keep it moving and keep it focused on the established topic. You will find these sessions are quite loose and there is little need for formal presentation.

Poster ONLY
Please mark "poster only” if you do not wish to conduct a session but are interested in highlighting your work in a poster session. Session presenters are also given the option to present a poster (see questions #5 and #6 on online form).

  • Each track will have a minimum of 2 reviewers who will review submissions individually. These reviewers will then meet as a team with NAQC staff to discuss results and arrive at consensus on the successful proposals for their track. Submissions will receive a score of 1 (lowest) to 5 (highest).
  • The entire Planning Workgroup will meet together no later than April 16th. At this time, each team will propose their slate of successful sessions to the larger group. There will be time allotted for discussion/ feedback.

The promotion and delivery of quality, evidence-based quitline services in the midst of difficult fiscal climates, ongoing healthcare reforms, shifting policy landscapes and an ever-growing demand for cessation services remains a critical priority for the entire quitline community and our partners. NAQC Conference 2012 will be the only national conference to focus solely on building the capacity of the quitline community to improve the availability and quality of its services while responding to these mounting challenges and opportunities.

The conference, including all plenary and breakout sessions, will focus on four principal areas or "tracks”: (1) accessibility and utilization; (2) promotion, partnership and referral; (3) organization, management and funding; and (4) quality and outcomes. Sessions will focus on current challenges, identifying strategies to address operational and implementation roadblocks and the translation of recent research and evaluation findings into improved strategies, practices and services.

NAQC Conference 2012 will take place August 13th and 14th as an ancillary meeting to the National Conference on Tobacco or Health. On-site registration will open on August 13th at 7 AM and the Welcome Plenary will begin at 10 AM that morning. The conference will close at 3 PM on Tuesday afternoon. The target audience for the conference is professionals who directly or indirectly influence the operations and funding of quitlines. This includes NAQC members and partners with an interest in quitlines and cessation. We anticipate that approximately 250 professionals will attend, including those from state and provincial governments, organizations that operate quitlines, researchers and evaluators, and national organizations that are active in tobacco control, cessation, chronic diseases and health systems.

PLEASE RSVP!
In order to assist us with space planning and other logistical details, please indicate your anticipated ability to attend, by submitting an RSVP.
