The Louisiana Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics (LA AAP), Louisiana Shots for Tots Coalition, and the American Cancer Society have teamed up to present the HPV Summit: Practical Tools to Implement Change. The event will be held Oct. 4 at Pennington Biomedical Research Center, 6400 Perkins Rd. in Baton Rouge.
Knowing your rates, utilizing a reminder recall system, and giving a strong provider recommendations have been identified as best practices for improving HPV vaccination rates. The summit will focus on these three areas to help providers in Louisiana continue to improve their rates.
Participants at this training will learn how to run practice specific vaccination rates using LINKS and how to generate a reminder recall list to identify patients past due for their immunizations; discuss how to deliver a strong recommendation; and learn more about motivation interviewing as a patient communication technique that can help address vaccine hesitancy.
Ongoing technical assistance will be provided by the planning team through LA AAP following the workshop.
The cost of the event is $20; lunch will be included
