Evidence-Based Resource Summary

The Community Preventive Services Task Force recommends health care system–based interventions implemented in combination to increase vaccination rates in targeted client populations. These interventions involve the use of 2 or more coordinated interventions to increase vaccination rates within a targeted client population. Interventions are implemented primarily in health care settings, although efforts may include additional activities within the community. Specific interventions may include client reminder and recall systems; clinic-based client education; expanded access in health care settings; provider assessment and feedback; provider reminders; and standing orders. The selection and implementation of coordinated interventions may result from an overall quality improvement effort in a health care setting.
