Effects of multicomponent primary care-based intervention on immunization rates and missed opportunities to vaccinate adults
BMC Family Practice Mar 05, 2020
Loskutova NY, Smail C, Callen E, et al. - Since adult immunization rates are below Healthy People 2020 targets, researchers undertook this prospective interventional before-and-after non-randomized study to assess whether a multicomponent intervention could effectively improve adult immunization rates. This inquiry involved 43 primary care physicians from a large multi-specialty healthcare organization in the US. The intervention incorporated provider reminders, quarterly provider-level performance reports, provider education, patient visual aid materials, and standing orders on adult pneumococcal, influenza, and zoster immunizations. Findings revealed that multicomponent interventions hold promise for affording improved vaccination rates as well as decreasing missed opportunities in older adults for pneumococcal and zoster vaccines and vaccination against influenza. The most effective strategy was provider reminders when delivered either as a part of these interventions or alone.
