Assessment, Feedback, Incentive, Exchange (AFIX-OB) A Customizable Quality Improvement Intervention to Increase Maternal Vaccine Uptake

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the AFIX-OB model to determine its impact on the change in flu and pertussis (Tdap) uptake, provider knowledge, attitudes and beliefs, and patient knowledge, attitudes and beliefs regarding maternal vaccination. The structure of the model and quality improvement interventions are guided by theory including the elaboration likelihood model and P3 model. These quality improvement measures will be implemented in OB clinics within the Yale New Haven Health System.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: AFIX-OB Intervention Arm
Practices randomized to this arm will choose from a suite of quality improvement interventions that address patient, provider, and practice-level factors relating to maternal vaccination.
Practices randomized to the intervention arm will be provided with a package of core and supplemental quality improvement interventions to choose from so that the most effective combination for their practice is implemented. Each practice will be required to implement a tablet-based educational app for patients, and evidence based online educational module for providers, standing order protocol, and a reminder/recall protocol. They can then choose to also use flyers and posters in their waiting rooms, standardized talking points for maternal immunization for the providers, educational content for the practice website, and laminated and highlighted CDC Vaccine Information Sheets. The recruited patients and providers at the practice will be given a baseline and follow-up survey to assess their knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs towards maternal immunization.
No Intervention: Control Arm
Practices randomized to this arm will continue to provide their normal standard of care to pregnant patients at their practice.
