Overview
Recent reports from Virginia and the nation indicate growing concerns over patients putting off well care due to coronavirus fears. This delayed care not only will impact patient health – possibly creating a ‘second epidemic’, but it has contributed to the growing financial pains for primary care practices.
One of the aims of the Virginia Center for Health Innovation’s Health Value Dashboard is to increase the provision of high-value care. Under the Virginia Vaccinates project, VCHI developed this webinar and supporting resource library to offer primary care clinicians strategies and tools to encourage patients to stay on schedule with their vaccinations and other preventive care.
The Virginia Center for Health Innovation produced this webinar and curated resources for primary care clinicians and their care teams. The webinar was produced in partnership with the Virginia Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Virginia Academy of Family Physicians.
