  2. BACKGROUND • Importance of influenza vaccination among healthcare personnel (HCP) • Time-limited endorsement of a reporting measure for HCP flu vaccination by the National Quality Forum (NQF) • Potential for future nationwide mandatory reporting using the NQF measure

  4. Acute care hospitals Long term care facilities Ambulatory surgery centers Dialysis centers Physician practices (community health centers, private offices) PARTICIPATING INSTITUTIONS

  5. DATA COLLECTION • Web-based survey  HCP Vaccination data  Facility information  Vaccination program information  Data sources for reporting  Barriers to reporting

Non-employees, credentialed Examples - Physicians or other midlevel providers with clinical or admitting privileges at the healthcare institution - Advanced practice (nurse practitioners, nurse midwives, physician assistants), technicians or therapists with professional credentialing by the institution

  12. Non-employees, other • Non-credentialed persons affiliated with the healthcare institution who do not receive a paycheck from the institution • Example: Registry nurses, students, trainees, volunteers, resident physicians, fellows, non-clinical agency staff, contract laborers, technicians or therapists without periodic credentialing by the institution

  13. DENOMINATOR: Reporting period • Reporting 1: October 1–October 31, 2010. • Reporting 2: October 1–December 31, 2010 • Reporting 3: October 1, 2010–March 31, 2011  Denominators in Reporting 2 & 3 should be greater than or equal to the denominator in Reporting 1.  Persons who began work after October 31st should be added to the original number.  Persons who discontinued work after October 1st should not be removed from the denominator.

  14. FOUR NUMERATORS • Received an influenza vaccination offered by the healthcare institution • Received an influenza vaccination elsewhere • Have a medical contraindication for the influenza vaccine • Declined to receive an influenza vaccine for non-medical reasons

  15. Declination Data • Report documented data only. • If your institution does not keep track of declinations, leave this numerator blank and provide the information in the comment box.

  16. NUMERATORS: NOTES • Include all personnel who have received an influenza vaccine since August 2010 • Each numerator is mutually exclusive, so each HCP should be reported in only one reporting element • Make sure that the sum of four numerators does not exceed the denominator
