Pillar 1: Convenient Vaccination Services
"Extend Vaccination Season: Begin vaccinating for influenza as soon as vaccine arrives; use every visit as opportunity to vaccinate; extend the season for influenza by vaccinating in January and beyond.~Use Express Vaccination services such as influenza vaccination clinics, Open access vaccine scheduling (for all vaccines), or dedicated vaccination station. When giving influenza vaccination, screen for need for PPSV/Tdap."
Pillar 2: Patient notification
"Patient Education: notifying patients of doctor recommendations for vaccination; providing information on express vaccination services via email, autodialer, on-hold messages, clinic websites, and/or social media"
Pillar 3: Enhanced Office Systems
Routine assessment for office systems flow to ensure staff consistently promoting vaccination: utilization of EMR prompts, review of Immunization tabs within EMR, and/or checking vaccination status as part of vital signs when rooming. Empower staff to vaccinate by use of a standing orders program (SOP). Order a sufficient supply of vaccination to cover increased rates
Pillar 4: Motivation
Utilization of an Office Immunization Champion who will track overall progress towards their goal - setting a goal of increased rates of 20 to 25% for influenza vaccine; monitoring and sharing progress with staff regularly; and changing office systems flow as needed to increased vaccination rates.
