VQIP Pilot Wrap Up
VQIP Dinner Wrap Up
Cumberland Pediatric Foundation hosts monthly CME dinners for our members. CPF was thrilled to host a CME dinner at Maggiano’s Little Italy on Tuesday, July 12th focused on a topic close to home: Vaccine Uptake.
CPF has been engaged in a 2-phase Vaccine Uptake Pilot study since 2014. At Tuesday’s dinner we presented the results from that study, awarded the 19 participants, and discussed next steps in the initiative.
One of the most impressive things CPF noticed about this pilot study is that it brought the community closer together. There was more networking and camaraderie displayed at this dinner that at any other event we have had all year, and that’s saying something!
Participating Practices Included: Premier Pediatrics, Rivergate Pediatrics, Old Harding Pediatric Associates, Rainbow Kids Clinic, Pediatric Associates of Davidson County, TN Pediatric and Adolescent Center, Tullahoma Pediatrics, Pediatric Associates of Franklin, Harpeth Pediatrics, Cool Springs Internal Medicine and Pediatrics, Green Hills Pediatric Associates, Smyrna Pediatrics, Nurture Pediatrics, Terrace Pediatric Group, Meharry Pediatric Group, The Children’s Clinic of Nashville, Brentwood Pediatrics, Plateau Pediatrics, and Children’s Clinic East.

Opportunities to Increase HPV Vaccination rates

The first environmental scan presented was conducted by the Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center and focuses on the Middle Tennessee region, along with some statewide data. The second is a report from the National Cancer Institute that summarizes key findings of the environmental scans conducted by the 18 cancer centers across the country who were funded to conduct this work in 2014-1015.

CPF Vaccine consultant John Minnium has been kind enough to share some of his wisdom with CPF Vaccine Members through tips on the way CPF handles our vaccine contracts/discounts as well as through these informative articles on vaccine-related topics.
About John:
John worked for a large vaccine manufacturer for 10+ years and so has an incredible wealth of inside knowledge. We are very excited to work with John in improving our own vaccine program and we encourage you to take advantage of his resources while you can!
