Implementation of influenza vaccination for hospitalised patients with COPD exacerbation at time of discharge. Tun, M. H., Ng, A. W. K., Jsy, O. H., Panchanathan, K., & Hor, C. Y. S. S.

Paper abstract bibtex Background & Hypothesis: Annual influenza vaccination is recommended by Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) management guidelines. It has been shown to reduce exacerbations and hospitalisation. In Tan Tock Seng Hospital (TTSH), the influenza vaccination take-up rate noted in patients who were admitted was less than 10%. We carried out a clinical practice improvement project with the aim of ensuring that patients admitted for COPD exacerbation received their vaccination on discharge. Method(s): The project was carried out from November 2010 to May 2011. From discussions, the team members considered all the possible reasons preventing vaccination from being carried out before arriving at the most likely reasons at which we directed our intervention. We developed a strategy to 1) advocate to junior doctors the importance of influenza vaccination, 2) education of patients and 3) track vaccination status of patients on admission. Result(s): Following a series of discussions, which included sharing of data and evidence, with the relevant healthcare professionals, there was a significant increase in influenza vaccination in COPD patients at the time of discharge. The tracking system also allowed us to monitor vaccination status of our patients and highlight patients who require vaccination. Over 80% of patients with COPD have received their influenza vaccination at the time of discharge. Discussion & Conclusion(s): The success of the project has resulted in influenza vaccination being incorporated into the Clinical Pathway for inpatient management of COPD exacerbation.
