Welcome back to The Benefits of IndexPro. These articles show how to use the reports and information on IndexPro as a supplement to the care you give to your patients, our members. You can read the previous tips in the Communications section of the dedicated PEAR portal page.

Tip of the week! Closing vaccination gaps

Vaccinations are recommended at certain intervals for children and adolescents to prevent them from contracting certain infectious diseases. You may use the Gaps in Care feature on IndexPro to see the percentage of your patients who are compliant with the vaccine measure definitions and how many of them have outstanding gaps in care for the vaccine measures. Closing open immunization gaps will positively affect performance in the Quality Incentive Payment System (QIPS) program.
