HPV vaccination coverage is at lower levels than the national goal. This study will evaluate the effectiveness of quality improvement strategies for increasing HPV vaccination coverage among adolescent within the context of large integrated health care delivery systems.
The University of North Carolina (UNC) will evaluate the impact of a quality improvement (QI) model for increasing HPV vaccination coverage among adolescents in primary care settings. UNC will partner with the American Cancer Society (ACS) to evaluate the effectiveness of their Vaccinate Adolescents against Cancer (VACs) model for HPV vaccine QI within the context of integrated healthcare delivery systems (IDSs). The VACs model includes the development of a QI action plan and a QI team. The QI team is made up of health care providers from participating clinics within the IDSs. The team then helps implement specific QI activities in participating primary care clinics. The model also includes vaccination coverage assessments in participating clinics at multiple time points to assess the impact of QI activities. Specific QI activities that will be offered to participating clinics will be chosen from a menu of options that will include the Center for Disease Control and Prevention's AFIX model and physician-to-physician engagement. AFIX (Assessment, Feedback, Incentives and eXchange) consists of brief quality improvement consultations that immunization specialists from state health departments deliver to vaccine providers in primary care settings. Using immunization registry data, the specialist evaluates the clinic's vaccination coverage and delivers education on best practices to improve coverage. Physician-to-physician (P2P) engagement consists of an in-depth training about how to make strong and effective HPV vaccination recommendations to primary care providers. The investigators will compare changes in HPV vaccination coverage between the quality improvement arm or wait list control arm.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| VACs intervention | Experimental | Integrated healthcare delivery systems randomly assigned to this arm will participate in the Vaccinate Adolescents against Cancers (VACs) model for HPV vaccine QI. Specific QI activities will be chosen by healthcare system leadership and healthcare providers on the systems' QI teams. |
|
| Wait list control | No Intervention | Integrated healthcare delivery systems randomly assigned to this arm will be placed on a waiting list to receive the intervention after the conclusion of the study period. |

| VACs | Other | The VACs (Vaccinate Adolescents against Cancer) model for HPV vaccine quality improvement is a strategy developed by the American Cancer Society to improve HPV vaccination coverage in large integrated health care delivery systems. It includes the development of a quality improvement (QI) action plan, the formation of a QI team of health care providers, education for the QI team about HPV-related disease burden and vaccine efficacy, HPV vaccine coverage assessments at several time points that are shared with individual clinics within the health are system, and the adoption of specific QI strategies by participating clinics in the health care system. |
