You know the critical role family physicians play in protecting adults from vaccine-preventable diseases. The American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) is pleased to invite you to participate in a new quality improvement initiative focused on increasing immunization rates among patients aged 50 and older.
- Practical tools
- Educational resources
- Guidance to support implementation
- A clear process for tracking progress over time.
Each practice designates a team member to lead efforts and help embed these strategies into routine workflows-without adding unnecessary burden.
Please consider this opportunity to enhance preventive care in your practice while contributing to a broader effort across family medicine.
Learn more and apply to participate on the AAFP website.
Bonus member resource: Utilize the Ohio Academy of Family Physicians (OAFP) EasyPI: Adult Immunizations track to implement a performance improvement activity to increase adult immunization rates in your practice.
About Easy Performance Improvement (EasyPI)
EasyPI is a peer-reviewed, curated collection of online education resources created by the OAFP to support family physicians in completing a self-guided PI project in practice and receive credit for the work they do.
Each EasyPI track will guide you through the process of evaluating background information for a specific condition, determining how this information should drive patient care, and implementing team-based practice change to improve patient outcomes.
After implementing your chosen PI initiative, EasyPI resources provide step-by-step instructions on how to submit your work to the American Board of Family Medicine (ABFM) through its Self-Directed PI Project: Clinical Pathway application. Self-directed PI projects fulfill an ABFM PI requirement, add 20 ABFM points to your portfolio, and equate to 20 continuing medical education (CME) credits through the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP).
