Framework July – September 2010 Baseline data – Hep A & HPV vaccination rates October present Cycles of Change/ Increase Awareness January – March 2011 Reassessment of vaccination rates Provider Staff Patient

Didactic presentations October On Hep A and HPV vaccines/guidelines given each day at clinic for residents and attendings Surveying doctors October/November Online survey of practitioners about preferred vaccine schedule Hep A: Given personal preferences given administration between 1 and 2 years of age, recommendation of 12 & 18 or 15 & 24 month visits HPV: Should be given at 11 year old visit to both boys and girls Cycles of Change – Provider

Posting of vaccine schedules December: Vaccine schedules highlighting Hep A and HPV placed in exam rooms, nurses station, and MA room Large posters – not used April: New schedules posted that were larger to draw more attention Staff education November/December Spoke with nurses about project and encouraged them to remind providers to order vaccines for appropriate patients Cycles of Change – Provider & Staff

Clinic Rooms

Information in waiting room Posting information - not done given issues revolving around needing approval for postings Patient vaccine information sheets January: Info re HPV vaccine in Spanish and English provided in exam rooms Feb/March: Encouraged MAs to provide information sheet to parents to review while waiting for doctor Sheets placed in MAs room as well Limitations: Biggest barrier: not having enough time to hand out the HPV information sheet Not finding the sheets in the same place when they run out Forgetting to give them to patients in that age group Cycles of Change – Patient

Hep AHPV – Overall HPV – Initiation

Conclusions Provider behavior changes needed to increase Hep A vaccination rates Challenge to create system changes Staff participation can help improve awareness and improve vaccination rates Medical assistants can help initiate patient education Nurses help serve as safety net to catch patients that may have been missed and remind provider Nurses are a resource to remind us of missed opportunities – WIC visit, non-febrile sick visit Patient information in room serves as reminder to provider to help initiate conversation
