System Alignment for VaccinE Delivery (SAVED): Improving Rates of Influenza and Pneumococcal Vaccination Through Patient Outreach, Improved Medical Record Accuracy and Targeted Physician Alerts

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Influenza, Infections, Pneumococcal

In brief

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)
