OSF Innovation childhood vaccination effort recognized among best in the nation
A project led by theOSF Design Labthat leverages data and artificial intelligence to improve childhood vaccination rates has received national recognition as well as $25,000 in funding.
The US Department of Health & Human Services (HHS), through the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), recently announced 20 winners of thePromoting Pediatric Primary Prevention (P4) Challenge, a nationwide competition to increase pediatric vaccination rates and well-child visits.
设计实验室主任斯科特•巴罗斯ays teams atOSF Jump Simulationand the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) are using machine learning algorithms to build artificial intelligence (AI) models to accurately identify geographic locations with the biggest need for childhood vaccinations and mobile clinics. TheUniversity of Illinois College of Medicine in Peoria (UICOMP) is supporting community outreach whileIllinois State University’s School of Information Technologyis building a vaccine management system that will help expand vaccination efforts for children in underserved communities.
“To be selected as one of the top 25 pediatric vaccination innovations in the U.S. is a testament to the commitment and collaboration of our Mission Partners working to improve community health,” said Barrows.
It’s also rewarding to know the HRSA award means our approach is being shared as best practices by national government-supported centers.
OSF Innovation has also developed digital tools to systematically collect information during mobile clinics to help address social determinants of health – barriers outside of a medical office that affect access to care and vaccinations including food, transportation, and income among others.
Barrows says the additional funding will help provide refrigerators for vans supporting mobile clinics, helping boost the number of vaccinations that can be given. Additionally, the new federal funding can supplement support for a vaccine coordinator position based at OSF HealthCare Children’s Hospital of Illinois
