Application of CDC Standards for Adult Immunization Practice
Harmonization of adult immunization service delivery with clinical and data workflows
Working with care extenders such as pharmacists and community health workers
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
