Increasing Adult Pneumococcal Immunization Rates – Update on Recipients

AAFP

The KAFP is one of three grant recipients for the pneumococcal grant for quality improvement (QI) initiatives that will increase adult pneumococcal vaccination rates. In this initiative KAFP is partnering with family physicians to implement evidence-based practices to promote effective immunizations of Medicare patients. Practices selected for the Kansas Family Medicine Pneumococcal Immunization Office Champions (KFMPIOC) Program will be supported in using their Electronic Health Record (EHR) to track and improve their pneumococcal immunization rates and rates of other immunizations for seniors.
