Understanding the Implementation Process for HPV Vaccine Standing Orders Support in Large Healthcare Systems

Principal Investigator: Lisa Mansfield, PhD, RN
Funded by: Improving Provider Announcement Communication Training (IMPACT) Pilot Program, National Cancer Institute

This study is part of an ongoing randomized controlled trial that explores the impact of HPV vaccine standing orders support on HPV vaccination for children ages 9 to 12 (IMPACT Project 1). Little is known about the implementation context for HPV vaccine standing orders support. This is also an important gap in the funded Project 1 research activities.

The success of the planned interventions will relay substantially on the healthcare systems’ staff readiness for change. Findings from this proposed research will help inform healthcare system leaders of clinic- and system-level strategies that can be used to support the implementation of HPV vaccine standing orders in practice and IMPACT’s integrated package of interventions in Year 5.
