Delivery and Evaluation (TIDE)

About The Course

TIDE is designed to give faculty and practitioners a flexible tool to teach and learn immunization delivery and evaluation.  It grew from a need to improve both the content and the teaching methods of more traditional curricula. 

WHAT IS TIDE: Teaching Immunization Delivery and Evaluation

  • A non-traditional web-based interactive curriculum
  • Clinical scenarios to trigger problem solving and discussion
  • Clinical practice evaluation tool for quality improvement
  • Continuing education credits are available for professional practitioners

Educational Objectives

The curriculum is organized as four self-contained modules including all the resources need for learners.  The main goal of this curriculum is to improve knowledge, attitudes and skills that are likely to change provider behaviour in clinical settings, leading to increased immunization rates for children.  Each module covers a different aspect of immunization delivery

  • Module A:  Childhood Immunizations - presents sample cases requiring the learner to make correct decisions for pediatric patients' vaccinations
  • Module B:  Assessing Immunization Rates - leads the learner through a chart audit to measure practice immunization rates.  This is the first step to increasing immunization rates
  • Module C:  Improving Immunization Rates in Your Practice - presents ways to bring about change in office routines to improve immunization rates
  • Module D:  Adolescent Immunizations - presents sample cases requiring the learner to make correct decisions for adolescent patients' vaccinations
