PROmotion of COvid-19 VA(X)Ccination in the Emergency Department - PROCOVAXED

The investigator's preliminary work research at 15 ED sites across the US indicates that ED Usual Source of Care patients have particular health care access barriers, needs, and perceptions about vaccines (vaccine hesitancy) that require specific review beyond traditional (non-ED user) community engagement techniques. To gain insight about messaging that effectively addresses these barriers, needs, and perceptions, the investigators will conduct one on one interviews and focus group meetings with ED Usual Source of Care Patients and community partners.

At five safety net EDs (Zuckerberg San Francisco General, Thomas Jefferson University Hospital [Philadelphia], Methodist Hospital [Philadelphia], Harborview Medical Center [Seattle], and Duke University Medical Center [Durham, NC], the investigators will conduct a cluster-randomized, controlled trial of implementation of PROCOVAXED platforms, with COVID-19 and influenza vaccine acceptance rates on post-intervention ED surveys as the primary outcomes. Hypothesis: Implementation of PROCOVAXED platforms in EDs will be associated with increased acceptance of COVID-19 vaccines in ED patients.

One month after subjects' index ED visit enrollment in our PROCOVAXED implementation trial, the investigators will conduct electronic health record review and phone follow-up surveys to determine ED patient uptake (receipt) of COVID-19 vaccines. Hypothesis: Implementation of PROCOVAXED platforms in EDs will be associated with greater COVID-19 vaccine uptake in ED patients.

The investigators will conduct a cluster-randomized, controlled trial (RCT) of implementation of our PROCOVAXED platforms in 5 high-volume, safety net hospital EDs, testing two hypotheses that implementation of PROCOVAXED platforms will be associated with increased acceptance and uptake of COVID-19 vaccines in ED Usual Source of Care Patients.
