Vaccinations

COVID-19. Influenza. Pneumococcal.

Great Plains QIN was enlisted by CMS to help increase COVID-19, influenza and pneumococcal vaccination rates in North Dakota and South Dakota. We are excited for this opportunity and hope to build on the successful efforts underway. This is part of a national, cohesive effort funded by CMS; Quality Innovation Network-Quality Improvement Organizations (QIN-QIOs) across the country are being tasked to assist.

We believe if we work together to coordinate messages, share resources and offer joint learning opportunities, we can collectively combat vaccine hesitancy and increase vaccine confidence in our nursing homes and the community at large. We value our partnership and want to work together to reduce duplication and decrease provider burden, If your organization is currently planning trainings or have projects underway that we could support or promote, please let us know.

Do you Have a Story to Share?
If so, we would love to help you tell it. We are looking for healthcare providers, organizations and community groups who are willing to share a best practice, resource or effort towards positive change in vaccines rate and confidence. Success stories can inspire others to make changes in decision-making or personal health behavior.
