Using Technology to Affect Influenza Vaccine Coverage Among Children With Chronic Respiratory Conditions.

Using Technology to Affect Influenza Vaccine Coverage Among Children With Chronic Respiratory Conditions.

J Pediatr Health Care. 2016 Jul 27;

Authors: Bay SL, Crawford DJ

Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Influenza presents additional burdens for children with chronic respiratory conditions. Influenza vaccinations may reduce complications, yet approximately half of children remain unprotected. Evidence supports integration of text and e-mail into multicomponent strategies to increase influenza vaccination rates among children with chronic respiratory conditions.
METHODS: A single text and e-mail message was sent to those with enabled preferences in the patient portal. A follow-up survey assessed aspects of message receipt. Surveys were completed without collection of demographics.
RESULTS: A total of 3,206 messages were successfully delivered. Surveys were initiated by 107 recipients. Frequency analysis showed that text and e-mail messages were preferred forms of communication. A statistically significant relationship was found between receiving a message and receiving an influenza vaccination (p = .027).
DISCUSSION: Text and e-mail messaging are cost effective and well received, and they can be easily integrated into existing systems. These methods are translatable across populations and can convey various types of messages.
