– Sufficient vaccine supply to EXCEED previous year coverage– Using the data to predict vaccine needs
• Vaccine Availability– EARLY and SUSTAINED Influenza vaccination activity– Broad availability
• Vaccine Promotion– Engaging with Communities

• During the past two flu seasons, NSSC has requested your totals for future seasons which is very difficult to determine especially if you have not completed the current flu season.
• The reason is…well, actually a couple. In order to receive the best possible price and selection, this process has to start before the end of the calendar year. (ex. Oct. 2016 for 2017-2018 flu season)
• Other large buying groups and insurance companies are doing this earlier and earlier competing for selection and pricing. They know vaccinating people annually is one of the single, most important things health professionals can do to prevent hospitalizations and save lives.

School & Community Flu Clinic CoordinatorTuba City Regional Health Care Corporation
July 2017
Community Approach
• 4 approaches to immunizing community– School- based clinics– Community clinics– Outpatient Clinics at TCRHCC– Employee Health Clinic at TCRHCC
Focus is from October to December
Committees• Flu Steering Committee
– Key individuals (~4-5 people)– Discuss allocation of first doses of vaccine– Resources needed– Concerns we may face as a whole
• School and Community
• Organizational – Outpatient Clinics– Employee Health
Committee Team Members • Public Health Nursing• Med Staff
– Chief of Family Medicine– NAIHS Immunization
Coordinator
• Pharmacy– Pharmacy Director– VFC Coordinator
• Health Information• Patient Registration
• Information Technology
• Coding & Billing• Mobile Medical Team• Community Relations
School-Based Clinics
• 11 schools• Each school completed in 5 hours or less • Team of:
– Patient registrars– Medical staff (NP or MD)– Immunizers (mostly PHN staff)– Assistants (to help hold kiddos) (often CHRs)– Pharmacist and tech– Additional team members: flow director, RPMS entry
Timeline
• March & April– Make consents and begin
distributing to schools
• May– First team meeting
• June– Create advertisements – Inventory Checks and Supply
ordering
• July– Prep for TCBS Registration Days– TCBS Registration Day- July 28th
and 29th – Confirm inventory and supplies
• August– Begin advertising– Collect student rosters– Set dates for clinics– Create school boxes
• Consents• Rosters
• September– Scheduling of team members– Team meeting every 2 weeks
• October– Final preparations
• November– Wrap up meeting & celebration
Registration & Consents
– Consent packet is created containing • Patient registration update form • Flu consent form• Newest VIS• Any other medical consent or hospital forms
– Distributed with school registration packets
• Tuba City Boarding School – Attend school registration days at end of July to
complete consents with parents during enrollment period.
Consents• Collect and organize (class and alphabetically)
• Patient Registration– Updates demographic information– Creates pre-reg. visit number– Creates PCC and attaches to consent– Verifies vaccine status within 24 hours of clinic
Day of Clinic Tips• Be early!
• Ensure Internet connectivity in advance
• Have volunteers well prepped on role & expectations
• Know the set-up and flow desired at each location
• Group huddle prior to starting clinic
• Provide lunch or snacks
• Incentives for kids (stickers, pencils, small toy)
Community • Locations:
– Senior Centers– Chapter Houses
• Partner with Medical Mobile Unit
• Create a mini health fair
• Have vaccine available for all age groups
• Usually about 5-6 community locations
Outpatient Clinics• Flu Clinic set-up in outpatient building
– Separate adult and pediatric clinics outside of normal service– Held in lobby of each floor
• Pharmacy based immunization clinic year round– Gives all adult vaccines, separate billable visit!!
• Address in OB– Prenatal & intrapartum – Cocooning strategy
• Ask all fathers and household contacts if they have been immunized• Provide vaccine prior to baby being discharged
Clinics are staffed by an independent provider- NP or Pharmacist credentialed by state of AZ to give vaccines
Creates a separate billable visit!!!!
Employee Clinic
– Mass immunization of employees
– Usually vaccinate ~400 in one morning
– Target satellite clinics and night shift workers over the next couple of weeks
– Offer incentive when vaccine received
– Provide sticker to wear on name tag
Advertising• Movie Theater Advertisements
– Harkins Theater in Flagstaff– Goen Theater in Tuba City
• Newspaper • Posters for Community locations• Flyers• Banners on campus and community locations• Small flyers to hand out to patients
In General
• Vaccine numbers are based off of previous numbers and projected change (i.e. number of kids enrolled in school).
• We typically do not set organizational goals with the exception of striving for 100% of employees immunized.– 2016: 98% of staff immunized
Planning for the Influenza Season
• Set Flu vaccine coverage goals for our facility
• Estimate our vaccine needs
• Plan for flu clinics
• Educate the community
• Provide engagement facility wide
• Monitor vaccination activities
Flu vaccine coverage goals for our facility
• Offer influenza vaccinations to all patients 6 month and over
– Vaccinate at each encounter, unless contraindicated
– Vaccinate at the patients convenience
• Work closely with local clinics and CHN’s
– Share information through SDIIS and keep EHR up to date
– Work together in planning school/community clinics
• Vaccinate all staff (unless contraindicated)
• Provide monthly reports to staff, and plan extra activities like health fairs to help increase rates
Estimate vaccine needs
• How much we ordered the previous year• How much influenza vaccine was wasted the previous year• What our current birth rates are• What our user rates are
Planning for flu clinics
• DPHN orders infant/teen influenza vaccine from the State Health Department • Director or Pharmacy orders influenza vaccine for adults• DPHN works closely with the State Health Department, school nurses, local
clinics, and the County CHNs in planning school influenza clinics– By looking at what did and did not work last year we can plan changes – Plan POD at Wagner School this year
• DPHN works with tribal entities to set up clinics at the Yankton Sioux tribal hall, BIA, Casino, Yankton Sioux housing, college, treatment center, correction facility, daycares, and elderly complexes
• PHNs provide multiple clinics at the Casino (major employer) to cover all the shifts and pay day
• Three public health nurses are available to provide influenza vaccinations in the home, schools, and tribal facilities
• Standing orders allow pharmacy and nursing staff to provide vaccinations at all patient encounters
Engagement facility wide
• Three PHNs provide vaccinations in the schools, tribal facilities, and in the homes
• Two PHNs provide education and vaccinations in clinic on Wednesdays to prenatal patients
• Clinic nursing staff offer vaccinations at each patient encounter (unless contraindicated)
• Four pharmacists assist in providing influenza vaccinations
• Infection control nurse vaccinates all staff
Community education
• Individual education• Flyers• Good Health TV• Facebook• Tribal Education Leaders
Monitoring vaccination activities
• Immunization coordinator
– updates historical information in EHR,
– updates information in SDIIS,
– monitors and reports immunization rates,
– updates staff on new vaccine information and trends,
– works with staff to problem solve and further increase rates
• Staff report activities monthly
• CEO provides GPRA rates and solicits feedback to increase rates
