Vaccination Programs: Provider Assessment and Feedback
CDC
An Evidence-Based Practice
Description
These interventions assess providers’ delivery of one or more vaccinations to a client population and present providers with feedback on their performance. Feedback may cover a group of providers (e.g., average performance for a practice) or an individual provider. Feedback also may involve other components such as incentives or benchmarking.
Impact
The Community Preventive Services Task Force (CPSTF) recommends provider assessment and feedback programs when used alone or when combined with additional interventions to increase vaccination rates among people of all ages from different populations or settings.
Results / Accomplishments
The systematic review included 20 studies.
Overall vaccination rates increased by a median of 9 percentage points (16 studies).
-Provider assessment and feedback used alone increased vaccination rates by a median of 11 percentage points (7 study arms).
-Provider assessment and feedback used in combination with additional interventions increased vaccination rates by a median of 6 percentage points (13 study arms).
The relative change in vaccination rates showed a median increase of 18.0% (15 study arms).
Overall vaccination rates among children increased by a median of 10.5 percentage points (8 studies with 10 study arms).
One study that did not provide a common measurement of change in vaccination rates reported no intervention effect.
