QI activities

Increase influenza vaccination recording for patients with COPD

About this activity

Use the QI template below to better record influenza vaccinations for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and meet the requirements for the PIP QI Incentive.

Goal
Increase the percentage of patients with COPD who have had an influenza vaccination recorded in the past 15 months.
Measures
Pen CAT4 measure: Percentage of patients with COPD who have had an influenza vaccination recorded in the past 15 months.
Improvement ideas
  • Conduct a targeted blitz to ask all patients with COPD who attend the practice within the activity period.
  • Use Pen CAT4 to pull a list of patients with COPD who have not had a flu vaccination in the past 15 months and send an SMS or email reminder to encourage them to book in for a flu shot.
  • Use Pen CAT4 to identify harder to reach groups in your clinic (for example: speakers of languages other than English) and consider how you might be able to improve the way you reach them.
