Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal of this wait-list control trial is to learn if having access to a new dashboard displaying information about immunosuppressed Veterans missing vaccinations for Shingrix can improve Shingrix vaccination rates at VA facilities.

The main question\[s\] it aims to answer is: Will vaccination rates improve more rapidly for facilities with access to the dashboard compare to facilities without access? VA facility personnel will be granted access to the dashboard and outcomes (vaccination rates) will be measured using electronic health record data.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Assignment of the intervention will occur at the facility level. Outcomes (vaccination) will be assessed for patients cared for at each facility.

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

The investigators will use a wait-list control design; clinicians from VA facilities will be randomized to receive access to the dashboard early vs. after a 6-9 month delay. The investigators will compare Shingrix vaccination rates in the two groups of facilities.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Early dashboard access

The early dashboard access arm will receive access to the Shingrix dashboard as soon as the study begins.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Access to Shingrix dashboard

Intervention Type OTHER

The investigators will build and grant access to a clinical dashboard that exists behind the VA firewall. The dashboard will identify Veterans from each VA facility who are receiving immunosuppressants (prescribed via the VA). The dashboard will also provide information about the number of Shingrix vaccines each patient has received (which have been documented within the VA electronic health record). VA clinicians will have access to view information about patients based on their VA electronic health record permissions.

Wait list control arm

The wait list control arm will receive no intervention for 6-9 months; after this period, this arm will also receive access to the Shingrix dashboard.

Group Type OTHER

Access to Shingrix dashboard

Intervention Type OTHER

The investigators will build and grant access to a clinical dashboard that exists behind the VA firewall. The dashboard will identify Veterans from each VA facility who are receiving immunosuppressants (prescribed via the VA). The dashboard will also provide information about the number of Shingrix vaccines each patient has received (which have been documented within the VA electronic health record). VA clinicians will have access to view information about patients based on their VA electronic health record permissions.
