ForwardIncreasing HPV Vaccination Rates
If you need MOC Part 4 points recorded in 2021, please complete the project and your attestation by November 30, 2021.
Every year in the United States, 33,700 women and men are diagnosed with a cancer caused by HPV infection. HPV vaccination could prevent more than 90% of these cancers, 31,200 cases ever year, from ever developing. While most U.S. adolescents are starting the HPV vaccine series, less than half have finished the HPV vaccine series. Every year that adolescents aren’t vaccinated is another year they are left unprotected against cancer-causing infections. A clinician recommendation plays a critical role in getting parents to accept and complete the HPV vaccination for their child. It’s estimated that only 2 in 5 clinicians recommend the vaccination regularly.
This improvement project will provide clinicians the tools they need to make effective recommendations for HPV vaccination for all adolescent patients. The project will help clinicians access their data to determine if their efforts resulted in higher rate of vaccination. This project also includes up-to-date information on HPV infection/disease, HPV vaccine, and ways to successfully communicate with parents about HPV vaccination.
The PI project will follow a three stage, 2 PDSA cycle format and will take approximately 6 months to complete.
Stage A: participants will learn how to access their data, receive information about the importance of the vaccination, and will set their goals for increase vaccination rates
Stage B: educational component on up-to-date information on HPV infection/disease, HPV vaccine, and ways to successfully communicate with parents about HPV vaccination. Participants will complete 2 PDSA cycles.
Stage C: participants will report progress and reflect on their project.
Target Audience
This course is intended for physicians and advanced practice providers in pediatrics and family medicine.
Learning Objectives
At the end of this session, learners should be able to:
- Utilize tools to make an effective HPV vaccine recommendation.
- Communicate the importance of HPV vaccination for cancer prevention and the rationale for vaccinating by the age of 13.
