Improving Vaccine Acceptance Through EHR Integrated Patient- and Provider-Facing Decision Support
Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health
Summary
The goal of this project is to establish the technical feasibility of a scalable, integrated platform to improve patient informed decision-making and increase vaccine uptake and to evaluate the effectiveness of the integrated platform to improve vaccine uptake.
Description

Interventions
- OtherLetsTalkShots (patient-facing CDS)
LetsTalkShots is a website which provides patients/parents with tailored videos addressing vaccine concerns.
- OtherLetsTalkShots (provider-facing CDS)
The provider-facing CDS component will propagate patient concerns obtained from LetsTalkShots (and the appropriate talking points to address the talking points) into the electronic health record (EHR) for the provider at the point of care.
- OtherAppointment Reminder Message
The regular text message and e-mail appointment reminder includes a vaccine primer (e.g. "Vaccines are due and reserved for the participant's child"), but no patient- or provider-facing CDS.
