Trial Outcomes & Findings for Patient Portal Reminder/Recall for Influenza Vaccination in a Health System- RCT 2 (NCT NCT04110314)

NCT ID: NCT04110314

Last Updated: 2022-05-05

Results Overview

Receipt of the annual influenza vaccination (between 10/2/19 - 4/1/20) among index patients. Outcomes will be assessed via vaccine data extraction from the electronic health record and external claims and pharmacy data. Index patients will be randomly selected individuals within an included household, eligible for the following groups (\<18, 18-64 non-diabetic, 65+ non-diabetic, and 18+ diabetic). One index patient per group may be selected from each household. The index patients must also be an active UCLA Health MyChart user (\>= 1 login over the last 12 months from 8/1/19, excluding activity on the user's initial profile activation date). Individuals not affiliated with any primary care practice will be excluded from the primary analysis.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 6 months

Population: Each row represents a combination of intervention conditions in our factorial design. Each column represents patient subpopulations which received different versions of the intervention. The number analyzed in each cell is the number from that column's subpopulation assigned to that row's intervention combination.

Receipt of the annual influenza vaccination (between 10/2/19 - 4/1/20) among index patients. Outcomes will be assessed via vaccine data extraction from the electronic health record and external claims and pharmacy data. Index patients will be randomly selected individuals within an included household, eligible for the following groups (\<18, 18-64 non-diabetic, 65+ non-diabetic, and 18+ diabetic). One index patient per group may be selected from each household. The index patients must also be an active UCLA Health MyChart user (\>= 1 login over the last 12 months from 8/1/19, excluding activity on the user's initial profile activation date). Individuals not affiliated with any primary care practice will be excluded from the primary analysis.
