Decision support boosts appropriate use of HPV vaccine
Health Information Technology
Providing families and clinicians with information to support decisions about starting and completing the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine series increases appropriate use of the vaccine. The HPV vaccine is effective in preventing some types of cervical cancer and requires a total of three shots given over 6 months. A study supported by AHRQ evaluated the impact of education and electronic alerts on vaccination rates. Electronic alerts for clinicians were most likely to impact delivery of the first shot, while education and reminders for families were tied to receipt of shots two and three.
