This project is led by the national office of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and is providing our chapter with tools, resources and technical support to lead a quality improvement (QI) effort amongst participating practices. The project aim is to improve vaccination rates for children up to two years of age. Other Chapters also participating in this project are CA4 (Orange County), Georgia, New Jersey, NY2, and Oklahoma.

1. Upload Data Into QIDA – Cycles end on the 7th of Each Month.
Final randomization data collection dates:
As a reminder, the deadline to enter December data into QIDA is January 8th, 2018. For Missed Opportunities, December data corresponds to Cycle 13. For Coverage Rates and Recall, December data corresponds to Cycle 11. This will be the last/final data collection for this project. Thank you for all your great work!
There are 3 main data collection forms for this project: Missed Opportunities, Coverage Rates, and Recall. Links to the printable forms are included below for your convenience. Once captured, data must be uploaded electronically into the AAP’s Quality Improvement Data Aggregator, also known as QIDA. Click here to access QIDA.
- The “Missed Opportunities” Form will be completed every month by each practice, tracking the number of missed opportunities in the previous month. Once you have entered all of the data for one month be sure to close the data cycle and open a new cycle for the subsequent month. Specific instructions are included on this printable form. Be sure to enter your baseline data in order (December 2016 first, then January 2017 and then February 2017). For more details see “Data Collection Process.” on the “Workspace” tab (see link below).
- The “Coverage Rate” Form will be completed monthly to track coverage rates for 19-35 month old patients each month. In California, this data will be obtained through the use of CoCASA and entered by the practice each month.
- Manual Chart Review for Coverage Rates and Recall Form (manual collection when CoCASA does not work):
- Practices who send their coverage rates to Eunice Hong via the manual coverage rate worksheet can now use the updated manual coverage rate and recall activity worksheet.
- Note: Practices who are directly entering in their data on QIDA can continue to enter their recall as usual.
-
Please visit the QIDA site to access all resources, available on the “Workspace” Tab, including “Data Collection Process”.
- Additionally, the “Practice Narrative” Survey will be completed by your practice once during each action period (3 action periods). The responses should be discussed by the entire practice team but only one survey needs to be completed per practice.
