13 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
Vaccine preventable infections are a serious complication following pediatric solid organ transplant. Immunizations are a minimally invasive and cost-effective was to reduce these infections. Despite the importance of pre-transplant vaccination, the majority of pediatric solid organ transplant recipients are not up-to-date on age-appropriate immunizations at the time of transplant. The goal of this study is to pilot a novel health information technology immunization tool to improve immunization rates in pediatric solid organ transplant candidates.
The goal of this study is to engage rural primary care clinics and community organizations to test interventions designed to increase HPV vaccinations in both male and female patients aged 9-26 years.
Although most US adolescents visit their primary care doctor, their immunization rates are low. Primary care practices from two networks, one in upstate New York as well as a national network of pediatric clinics were surveyed to ask what they thought was the best strategy to increase immunization rates. Point-of-care prompts (either by an electronic health record message or by a nurse) when an adolescent patient comes in for any type of visit and is due for a vaccine was chosen. This study will determine if these prompts will increase immunization rates after a 12-month intervention period.
The purpose of this study is to determine if a collaborative centralized population-based reminder/recall intervention is more effective than a traditional practice-based reminder/recall intervention at increasing immunizations among young children.
Specific Aim: To improve childhood immunization rates by utilizing automated Electronic Health Record-derived provider-specific performance feedback reports, coupled with automated Electronic Health Record-derived trigger alerts. Hypothesis: The automated Electronic Health Record-derived provider-specific performance feedback reports will result in a 50% decrease in unimmunized children ages 0-13 years of age, when coupled with automated Electronic Health Record-derived trigger alerts, compared with trigger alerts alone.
In this project, the investigators will develop, implement, and evaluate an adolescent vaccination quality improvement program, with the program designed to encourage adolescents to visit their usual primary care provider to receive vaccinations and other recommended preventive health services. This study will be conducted in different types of primary care settings, such as public, private, and managed care clinics serving adolescent patients of diverse backgrounds, and will provide important information to help guide future public health efforts to achieve high rates of immunization in adolescents.
This protocol describes a study about vaccination uptake among adolescents. The purpose of the study is to determine whether parents who receive email reminders will be more likely to obtain Tdap (tetanus-diphtheria-acellular pertussis), HPV (human papilloma virus), meningococcal, and influenza vaccines for their adolescent children than parents who do not receive email reminders.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether implementation of a web-based educational intervention using a "vaccine information kiosk" placed in primary care practice waiting rooms can reach a large number of parents and have a measurable impact on adolescent vaccination rates, specifically for Tdap, HPV, meningococcal, and influenza vaccines.
The overarching goal of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness, cost-effectiveness and sustainability of utilizing statewide Immunization Information Systems (IIS) to conduct centralized reminder/recall (R/R) to improve Human Papiloma Virus (HPV) vaccination rates among adolescents ages 11-17 (with a more focused look at the new two dose series for 11-14 year olds).
The overall purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of features of the New York State Immunization Information System (NYSIIS) by various types of primary care practices and determine how best to promote the use of IIS features and functionality. The primary goal is to promote the use of NYSIIS for immunization quality improvement (QI) in the practice setting. Customized training sessions will be conducted by study staff to educate practices on NYSIIS' enhanced features.
Despite the significant benefits of herpes zoster vaccine (HZV), vaccination rates remain low. Electronic medical records (EMR) can serve as a practical strategy to better facilitate the application of preventative health care, such as increasing immunization rates. A new care model that can increase the herpes zoster vaccination rate, as well as other preventative health services, is warranted. The objective of this study is to investigate if the functions of an EMR, in combination with a pharmacist as part of the care team, can improve the herpes zoster vaccination rate.
The purpose of this study was to see if reminder letters and a large raffle prize would encourage health care workers to receive influenza vaccinations.
Purpose of the study. The purpose of the project is to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and cost effectiveness of providing influenza vaccine in schools to children in grades Kindergarten through 6th grade. Hypothesis 1: School based influenza vaccination (SIV) will increase the overall rate of influenza vaccination in school children. Hypothesis 2: Higher intensity parent notification about school based influenza vaccination does not increase immunization rates compared to low intensity. Hypothesis 3: School based vaccination from the perspective of mass vaccinators is cost neutral.
