Quality Improvement Projects Targeting Immunization						Print
																Related Pages
										Physicians, nurses, pharmacists and other healthcare professionals are sometimes required to carry out a quality improvement project. Quality improvement projects may be required for “Maintenance of Certification,” and for some residency training programs.
The American Board of Medical Specialty lists requirements for each of its specialty members for the Maintenance of Certification Part IV Practice Performance Assessment. [4 pages]
Immunization quality improvement projects are often selected because immunization is a dynamic, critical and measurable area of healthcare. It is rapidly evolving, making fast strides in some areas but lagging in other areas, such as HPV vaccination.
CDC encourages healthcare providers to consider immunization quality improvement projects that:
Implement measurable increases in adult immunization rates,
Bring about measurable increases in HPV vaccination rates, particularly co-administration rates with other adolescent vaccines at the 11-12 year old visit,
Bring about measurable increases in vaccination rates of pregnant women, specifically against influenza and pertussis, and/or
Reduce disparities in immunization rates, whether associated with race, ethnicity, lack of insurance coverage or any other factor resulting in less-than-optimal rates.Resources for Providers Seeking Quality Improvement Projects:
