Objective

The primary objective of the vaxPACES program is to provide clinicians with a platform to longitudinally view their practice performance for the HEDIS validated, pneumococcal, Tdap, influenza, and V. zoster vaccination status measures among eligible patient populations with supportive educational resources to help improve outcomes for vaccine preventable diseases and conditions.  

Overview

vaxPACES utilizes a simple, learner friendly, data-driven quality improvement instructional design and format with a proven track record for success. The initiative will link full denominator clinical performance patient claims data from individual providers to a fully integrated learning management system supported by educational interventions developed by national experts in infectious disease and vaccines. Individualized Clinical Performance Dashboards for each participant will display the percentage (number received / number eligible) of patients who received the pneumococcal, Tdap, influenza, and V. zoster vaccines. The NCQA and the Immunization Action Coalition have developed a suite of Continuing Medical Education and other evidence-based vaccination resources to support professional development, certification requirements and population health improvement. The Clinical Performance Dashboard and educational resources are available to all participants following registration.

Target Audience

This activity has been designed to meet the needs of primary care specialists and their inter-professional healthcare team members who see patients eligible for pneumococcal, Tdap, influenza, and V. zoster vaccination.
