AB  - BACKGROUND: The purpose of this project was to evaluate a standardized measure of 
      health care personnel (HCP) influenza vaccination during the first year of 
      implementation. The measure requires acute care hospitals to gather vaccination 
      status data from employees, licensed independent practitioners (LIPs), and adult 
      students/trainees and volunteers. The evaluation included a hospital sampling 
      frame stratified by 4 United States Census Bureau Regions and hospital bed count. 
      The hospitals were selected within strata using simple random sampling and the 
      probability proportional to size method, without replacement. METHODS: 
      Semi-structured telephone interviews were conducted. Two qualitative data 
      analysts independently coded each interview, and data were synthesized using a 
      thematic analysis. This evaluation took place at hospitals reporting HCP 
      influenza vaccination data as part of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid 
      Services Hospital Inpatient Quality Reporting (IQR) Program. Participants 
      included the staff at 46 hospitals who were knowledgeable about data collection 
      to fulfill IQR program requirements. RESULTS: Facilitators of data collection 
      included having a small number of HCP, having a data collection system already in 
      place, and providing HCP with advance notice of data collection. Major challenges 
      included the absence of an established tracking process and monitoring HCP not 
      regularly working in the facility, particularly LIPs. More than half of the 
      facilities noted the time- and/or resource-intensive nature of data collection. 
      Most facilities used data collected to meet other reporting requirements beyond 
      the IQR Program. CONCLUSIONS: Hospitals implemented a range of data collection 
      methods to comply with reporting requirements. Lessons learned from the first 
      year of measure implementation can be used to enhance data collection practices 
      across HCP groups for future influenza seasons.
