Masking Details

Due to the nature of the intervention, it is not possible to blind the practices or study staff to study arm allocation. To minimize bias, allocation will be masked until after baseline data collection of outcome measures, when it is time for each practice to initiate the intervention.

HEALTH SERVICES RESEARCH

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

Model Details: Using a two-group, cluster randomized control trial (RCT) design, with the clusters being pediatric practices, practices will be randomized to two study arms representing two delivery modalities of the intervention: In-Person Coaching Arm and Web-Based Coaching Arm. The intervention targets the providers and staff in the pediatric practices to make changes aimed to improve their quality of care, and the study participants are the providers and staff (not patients). Individual patients will not be recruited or enrolled in the study, since the intervention is focused on QI and all patient vaccination outcome data will be collected via aggregated reports from the EHR or other clinical data systems (no individual patient-level private health information (PHI)). The study practices include approximately 190 providers (physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants) and 275 other staff (nurses, clinical support staff, administrative staff).
