Opportunities for Advancing Adult Immunization Through Quality Measurement 

Vaccination rates in the U.S. remain low and large gaps exist between national adult immunization goals and actual immunization rates. The National Quality Forum (NQF) released Opportunities for Advancing Adult Immunization Through Quality Measurement, an Action Brief to assess the progress made on 2014 adult immunization measurement priorities, identify potential new priorities for measure development in adult immunization, and develop recommendations on the next steps to improve adult immunization rates through measurement science. This action brief seeks to provide action-oriented solutions and close measurement gaps to drive improvements in adult immunization rates, ultimately improving health outcomes, reducing disparities, and decreasing costs. This project is being delivered by NQF with support from GlaxoSmithKline, LLC (GSK) and through an independent educational grant from Merck & Co., Inc.
