Effect of an Innovative Immunization Practice Model to Improve Population Health: Results of the Project IMPACT Immunizations Scaled Demonstration.

ABSTRACT: Background: U.S. adult vaccination rates remain low. Community pharmacists have skills and opportunity to improve this shortcoming. This study sought to evaluate an innovative practice model on identification of unmet vaccination needs and their resolution. Methods: This prospective, multi-site, multi-state, observational study was conducted in 22 community pharmacy practices in Iowa and Washington. Adults receiving influenza vaccination, medication therapy review, prescriptions for diabetes or cardiovascular disease, or another clinical encounter with a participating pharmacist from December 2017 through November 2019 were included. Pharmacists reviewed vaccination forecasts generated by clinical decision support technology based on their state immunization information syste
