There are 36,500 HPV-attributable cancers annually with over 90% preventable by HPV vaccination. However, the national vaccination coverage remains below 60%. The aim of this quality improvement (QI) project was to improve HPV vaccination rates in a pediatric clinic with low HPV vaccination coverage. The project used Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) methodology for improvement. It developed a patient portal (MyChart) vaccination reminder/recall system (VRRS) to send out monthly recall messages automatically to eligible patients aged 11 years and older who had MyChart. This project developed a convenient MyChart VRRS but potentially impacted by COVID-19, did not increase HPV vaccination rates. }, number = {ETD}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.6083/br86b416z}, recid = {9689}, address = {2022}, }
