Summary
The Office of Evaluation Sciences is collaborating with Emory University and the Atlanta VA Health Care System to increase adult immunizations uptake among veterans.

The team will evaluate the intervention using a randomized controlled trial.
Detailed description
The Office of Evaluation Sciences is collaborating with Emory University and the Atlanta VA Health Care System to increase adult immunizations uptake among veterans. The intervention targets patients of primary care providers (physicians, physician assistants and nurse practitioners) through a modification of the existing reminders in the VA electronic health record system. The intervention includes a bundled vaccination reminder for influenza, pneumococcal and TDap vaccines, an immunization dashboard that relays a patient's vaccination status and history, and talking points for providers to use in their dialogues with patients. This intervention was designed to mitigate potential bottlenecks to vaccination, based on conversations and observations with facility clinicians. The team will evaluate the intervention using a randomized controlled trial.
