Feedback for Immunization Systems

IQIP for VFC Providers

IQIP is CDC’s provider-level, Immunization Quality Improvement Program.  The IQIP process uses IIS data to identify opportunities to improve immunization services and coverage and helps VFC providers select QI strategies, implement and refine those QI strategies as needed, and evaluate the outcome.

IQIP Process

IQIP is a 12-month process during which Field Representatives and VFC providers collaborate to implement QI strategies to improve and enhance vaccination workflow for children and adolescents. Providers receive technical assistance to support four quality improvement strategies. Participation entails at least one in-person site visit and additional exchanges via phone or email.

QI Strategies

Use these resources to help improve immunization services and coverage.

  1. Schedule next immunization visits before patient leaves. Help facilitate next vaccination appointments. 
  1. Leverage immunization registry functionality to support immunization practice.  Maximize IIS vaccination data to know which vaccines are due and when to administer them.
  1. Give a strong vaccine recommendation.  Centers on parent/provider discussion.  Apply strategy to all childhood vaccinations.
  1. Strengthen vaccination communications.  Focuses on practice-wide promotion of the importance of on-time vaccination.  Includes dispelling myths, supporting positive vaccine messaging, and increasing parent confidence in vaccinations.
