Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter StudyEffect of provider prompts on adolescent immunization rates: a randomized trial.
Adolescent immunization rates are suboptimal. Experts recommend provider prompts at health care visits to improve rates. We assessed the impact of either electronic health record (EHR) or nurse- or staff-initiated provider prompts on adolescent immunization rates. ⋯ In both a local and national setting, provider prompts failed to improve adolescent immunization rates. More rigorous practice-based changes are needed.
