By applying Human Centered Design (HCD), LEAN Informatics, and implementation science methods NACHC’s proposal includes blended learning model using the following elements: Data analytic plan for adult immunizations for participating sites Team focused coaching and data intervention Mixed method learning models for scale and spread of adult immunizations Quantify the results of the past 5 yeas years of the Cooperative Agreement
