Abstract

Influenza infection is the cause of thousands of hospitalizations and deaths each year; infection during pregnancy results in increased morbidity and mortality. Underserved women are particularly susceptible to not receiving recommended vaccinations. This project explored the effect of a simple paper based prompt on the influenza vaccination rate in a resident continuity clinic for the underserved. Using this reminder to providers to discuss the influenza vaccination with their patients, we were able to increase vaccination rates in our clinic from 2.2% to 14.2%. This implementation of a simple, low cost, low tech prompt to providers increased the rate of influenza vaccination in our clinic and we present this approach as an easy to implement method of improving vaccination rates. We also suggest this method as an alternative to an alert in the electronic medical record in situations where the electronic medical record may not be accessed during every patient encounter.

在繁忙的城市诊所提高流感疫苗接种率。
流感感染每年导致数千人住院和死亡;孕期感染会增加发病率和死亡率。医疗服务不足的妇女尤其容易得不到推荐的疫苗接种。本项目探讨了在为未得到充分服务的居民提供的连续性诊所中,基于纸张的简单提示对流感疫苗接种率的影响。通过提醒医疗服务提供者与患者讨论流感疫苗接种问题,我们将诊所的疫苗接种率从 2.2% 提高到了 14.2%。这种向医疗服务提供者提供简单、低成本、低技术含量提示的方法提高了我们诊所的流感疫苗接种率,我们将这种方法作为一种易于实施的提高疫苗接种率的方法加以介绍。我们还建议,在每次接诊病人时都无法访问电子病历的情况下,可以用这种方法替代电子病历中的提示。
