Strategic Interventions
  • Complete an immunization reconciliation between your electronic health record, EQRS, and the state vaccination registry. (Note, the Network utilizes EQRS rates for the project). 
  • Utilize motivational interviewing techniques when discussing vaccinations with patients. (see vaccine clinic checklist below for motivational interviewing resources). 
  • Revisit patients who may have initially declined vaccination, missed vaccination day in the dialysis clinic, or were admitted to the clinic after vaccination day. 
  • Attend a 1:1 coaching call with Network staff to assist with vaccination challenges.
  • For your monthly updated vaccination rates, please watch for your Network vaccination report sent via email from Kristen Ward at MKN.
