From page 91...
... Participants suggested research questions across all the areas discussed so far in this summary, including distribution and administration, data collection, communications, and funding and payment. Across all three workshops, many participants said that it would be extremely valuable to systematically evaluate state and county implementation processes and immunization infrastructures to understand associations between coverage rates and immunization policy, programs, and practices.

... In particular, they noted that the planning tool should contain considerations for situations of shortage versus ample vaccine supply, and also recommendations regarding effective strategies according to the severity of the disease. A second recurring workshop theme was that many processes involved in the vaccination campaign could have been simplified, systematized, and automated.
From page 93...
... Vaccine Distribution and Administration There were several individual suggestions for research related to vaccine distribution and administration. These included • Systematically evaluate state and county implementation processes and immunization infrastructures to understand associations between coverage rates and immunization pol icy, programs, and practices.
From page 94...
... Research on Data Collection Systems There were several individual suggestions for research on data collection systems. These included • Examine differences in data collected between states that had registries and those that did not.

... . Planning Opportunities Individual suggestions for areas in which research, combined with expert review and, potentially, modeling, could be used to develop better planning tools and enhanced processes and procedures are compiled below as part of the factual summary of the workshops and should not be construed as reflecting consensus or endorsement by the workshops, the Preparedness Forum, or The National Academies.

... Examples include o Simplify the provider registration system, o Reduce the complexity of the vaccine formulary, o Implement electronic standing orders and automatic "best practice" in electronic medical records, o Bar code and color code vaccine, o Develop systems so that information in electronic medical records and practice management systems can be automati cally shared with systems for tracking vaccine administra tion, and o Simplify data collection and reporting requirements.
