Priority Setting for Healthcare Performance Measurement: Addressing Performance Measure Gaps for Adult Immunizations 

The Priority Setting for Healthcare Performance Measurement: Addressing Performance Measure Gaps for Adult Immunization Report identifies critical areas for performance measurement to optimize vaccination rates and outcomes across adult populations. The report contains a conceptual measurement framework which prioritizes measurement needs by illustrating measure gaps in specific age groups and subpopulations including young adults, pregnant women, adults, the elderly, people with chronic disease, and healthcare workers. The report identifies ten measure gap priorities which include age-specific priorities as well as composite measure priorities, recommends two short-term and long-term priorities, and also provides recommendations for measurement that address issues of measurement accuracy and efficiency, and measuring that which is most meaningful.
