Provider assessment and feedback
Tailored immunization reports highlighting adolescent vaccination rates at the individual, clinic and network levels are distributed by clinic champions every quarter. Reports track vaccination rates over time and allow physicians to compare their rates to the national goal.
Provider reminders
An EHR-based reminder system informs providers when patients are due or overdue for HPV vaccination.
Provider education
Provider education is being delivered through a comprehensive online continuing education activity that is tailored specifically to physicians, nurses, and clinical staff at TCP practices. It focuses on HPV vaccination best practices and communicating with parents about the HPV vaccine.
Patient reminders
Patient reminders are delivered through MyChart, the clinics' online personal health record system, to inform patients (parents) that they are due or overdue for HPV vaccination.
Parent education
The parent education intervention (currently in development) will employ innovative strategies to identify and overcome barriers to HPV vaccination.
