Improving Pneumococcal Vaccine Uptake In Veterans With Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Through A Virtual Clinic, Brigid M. Wilson, L. Arfons, Federico Perez, Robin L.P. Jump
Faculty Scholarship
Through a “virtual clinic,” we used the electronic medical record to identify and intervene upon patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) who were not current for pneumococcal vaccines. Within 180 days, 100/160 patients (62%) received the recommended pneumococcal vaccine. A virtual clinic may improve vaccination rates among high-risk patient populations.
