Conduct a test run of online ordering processes Engage the provider community early in the process Test a simplified version of the implementation process Capture feedback and lessons learned from grantees and providers to apply to the full VTrckS solution Reduce the burden of handling paper forms and increase order accuracy CDC implemented VPOP in May 2009 to address several strategic objectives
How does VTrckS Provider Ordering Pilot (VPOP) differ from VTrckS? 1Subject to contract modification
Providers from the four VPOP grantees have used VTrckS to place 1,220 vaccine orders VPOP Statistics as of April 16, 2010
In October, provider satisfaction rose from 62% to 76%, with respondents reporting that VTrckS was easy to use VPOP Evaluation Results: Overall System Performance 76% of providers agree with the statement
In October, 71% of respondents concurred that VTrckS is a satisfactory replacement for existing vaccine ordering methods VPOP Evaluation Results: Overall System Performance 71% of providers agree with the statement
Grantee approval rose from 70% in June to 80% in August, with respondents agreeing that their providers are satisfied with VTrckS VPOP Evaluation Results: Overall System Performance 80% of grantees agree with the statement

VPOP grantee and provider feedback resulted in important changes
Lessons learned from VPOP are being incorporated into full VTrckS planning efforts • Develop enhancements for “identity proofing” to simplify access for 100,000+ VTrckS users • Engage the immunization program early to review processes and understand changes • Communicate effectively and often with the user community to update them on the implementation and transition activities • Support end users by balancing implementation plans with other non-VTrckS responsibilities (flu season, back to school, etc.) • Include end users in testing whenever possible
