A Performance Improvement Activities Solution
Adult immunization rates, especially among racial and ethnic groups, remain low in the U.S.
Physicians are often not aware of discrepancies of immunization rates. This PICME and webcast activity is designed to change competence and performance with respect to increasing adult immunization rates among African American patients.
PICME activity:
Stage A: a self-assessment process.
Stage B: evaluation of current performance, and the implementation of a plan to improve immunization rates based on the self-assessment.
Stage C: measure the effects of the improvement plan and interventions.
Webcast:
Focused on strategies to increase adult immunization rates among African American patients, including making and implementing an immunization improvement plan.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this CME activity, you will be able to:
- Reflect on current medical skills and practice environment through chart audits, self-assessment, and patient surveys that measure key indicators of high-quality care for immunizations for African American patients.
- Identify practice deficits that impact performance related to immunization rates of African American patients.
- Based on current practice deficits, identify, and execute evidence-based changes that consistently support patient-centered outcomes for immunizations for African American patients.
- Reflect on the effect of the changes you have made on practice performance and modify these changes to support long-term, ongoing, continuous improvements.
