System Alignment for VaccinE Delivery (SAVED): Improving Rates of Influenza and Pneumococcal Vaccination Through Patient Outreach, Improved Medical Record Accuracy and Targeted Physician Alerts.
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Arm 1: E-portal message with IVR call, Arm 2: E-portal message with no IVR call, and 2 other interventions for Influenza and Infections, Pneumococcal. Completed, enrolled 30,000 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The goal of this research study is to improve rates of appropriate influenza and pneumococcal vaccination among adults who receive care at a large multi-specialty group practice in central Massachusetts. The investigators plan to conduct a non-blinded randomized controlled trial during flu season 2014-2015 (Cycle 1). A total of 20,000 e-portal users and 10,000 non e-portal users who are identified in the Reliant Medical Group (RMG) Electronic Health Record (EHR) as not being up to date on their influenza vaccines will be randomized. E-portal users will be randomized to receive: * Arm 1: E-portal message with Interactive Voice Recognition (IVR) call * Arm 2: E-portal message with no IVR call * Arm 3: No e-portal message with IVR call OR * Arm 4: No e-portal message with no IVR call (Control, e-portal users) Non e-portal users will be randomized to receive either: * Arm 5: IVR call OR * Arm 6: no IVR call (Control, non e-portal users)
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Active electronic patient portal users will be randomized to receive an e-portal message and IVR calls. Both methods of outreach will provide patients with educational information about influenza vaccination, notify patients of local flu clinic schedules and elicit patient response to vaccination status and barriers.
Active electronic patient portal users will be randomized to receive only an e-portal message. The e-portal message will provide patients with educational information about influenza vaccination, notification of local flu clinic schedules and elicit patient response to vaccination status and barriers.
Active electronic patient portal users will be randomized to receive an IVR call. The IVR call will provide patients with educational information about influenza vaccination, notification of local flu clinic schedules and elicit patient response to vaccination status and barriers.
Non electronic patient portal users will be randomized to receive an IVR call with educational information about influenza vaccines, notification of local flu clinic schedules and elicit patient response to vaccination status and barriers.
