Highlights
- •Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine initiation rates increased by 6.5% after a 12-week multipronged quality improvement study.
- •HPV vaccine initiation rates were higher among adolescent males with publicly funded health insurance.
- •The findings from this quality improvement project offer pediatric providers an analysis of their own clinical practice of HPV vaccine initiation among adolescent males.
- •The electronic medical record prompt was a widely accepted tool by the providers who participated in the quality improvement project.
Abstract
The objective of this quality improvement project was to increase human papillomavirus
(HPV) vaccine initiation rates among males aged 11 to 21 years old. A multipronged
strategy was implemented at a pediatric practice, including an electronic medical
record prompt, educational presentation, and monthly e-mail updates to providers.
Deidentified HPV vaccine initiation rate data were collected, and a paired 2-sample
t test evaluated differences in prepost vaccine initiation rates. HPV vaccine initiation
rates increased by 6.5% during the project period. The medical record prompt was identified
as most effective by 75% of participating providers. Small gains can be made to improve
HPV vaccine initiation rates among adolescent males.
