Suggested Solutions
|
Insufficient Staff/ Time |
- Implement SOPs to increase efficiency:
- Enable non-physician staff to assess and vaccinate.
- Seek reimbursement for vaccine administration.
|
Legal Concerns About SOPs
|
|
Uncertainty About Patient's Vaccination Status |
- CDC accepts self-report for influenza vaccine and PPSV.
- Patient reports are correct for receiving influenza vaccine status 94-100% of the time. PPSV 80-97% of the time.
|
|
Workflow Pattern not Conductive to SOPs |
- Use Best Practice Examples
- Use vaccination as a vital sign to trigger SOPs
- Use Practice Enhancement Training
- Include team members in suggesting improvements to workflow that allow for SOPs.
