Project National Partners 5 Program Goal Significantly increase adult immunization rates in at least 2 states by assisting physicians and their health care teams by implementing: Standards for Adult Immunization Practice especially through a strong recommendation increased immunization in their practice Closer collaboration with immunizers in their communities Starting with Arkansas and Louisiana, adding New Jersey 6 3
Approaches to Increasing Adult Immunizations 7 Resources to Promote the Business of Vaccination Early 2014, ACP on behalf of the Provider Workgroup: Reviewed websites for tools that assist with purchasing, storage, and billing, including: Professional societies - ACP, AAP, AAFP, ACOG Federal agencies - CDC, CMS, FDA, VA Immunization resource groups IAC Manufacturers Conducted Google/Bing and PubMed Searches: Immunization/vaccine + purchasing/storage/billing Presented results on call and at Summit Resources included education about ordering, coding, insurance coverage, storage, billing; little available for adults providers in terms of addressing the widespread concern that providers will lose money vaccinating.

A Modeling Tool for Estimating Practice Based Financial Impact of Adult Immunization 6
Business Tools Overview User-friendly and customizable Excel-based planning tool for health providers To identify the types and amounts of adult vaccines to provide in their practices Basic tool estimates net revenue for five priority vaccines Influenza Pneumococcal (PCV13 and PPSV 23) Td/Tdap Zoster Inputs will include revenue from vaccination and variable costs related to purchasing and delivery; fixed costs for storage; current patient demand; and costs for increasing demand Advanced planning model to include more detailed inventory planning 13 Financial Viability Modeling Baseline data to inform calculations will be taken from literature review and provider survey/focus groups Quantitative model will be translated into a simple excel spreadsheet developed to estimate Expected fixed and variable costs experienced in ordering, storing, and administering vaccines compared to expected revenue Results should inform individual practices, and in aggregate, reveal macro-economic impact of physician led immunizing 14 7
