WIC participants 63.1 (+ 6.6) Non-WIC participants 70.7 (+ 5.7) Five-Year Linkage Strategic Plan developed – March 2002 The Washington State DOH WIC and Immunization Programs have had a long history of collaboration. In October 2000 we established a statewide workgroup to develop a five-year plan for collaboration activities that expanded beyond what we had been doing the past few years NIS data for WIC and non-WIC participants was considered in the work that resulted in the development of a 5-year strategic plan.

20 What Did Staff Say About the Project?
Best thing about the project: Getting clients’ records updated in registry Got people thinking about immunizations Helping to make a difference One agency director is so enthused, wants WIC to continue to collect records

21 WIC Staff Loved the project Way to provide quality services
Felt good seeing clients excited about incentives One more thing to do in a busy schedule, but worthwhile Since Immunizations was decreasing hours, WIC staff thought it was negative since they wanted to be able to refer clients for shots right away.

22 Immunization and Data Entry Staff
Data entry was challenging at times Interpreting foreign records Difficult to read Poor copy quality Having complete immunization history helps all of us

23 WIC Clients They loved it
Grateful for the help to get children in the registry Felt WIC and Immunization staff cared about their children's well-being Excited about the incentives

24 Lessons Learned Communication Project Timeline Funding and Contracting
Implementation

25 Communication Notify appropriate administrators at state and local levels prior to project Develop system for consistent notification Set up primary contacts for: WIC Immunization Fiscal

26 More Lessons on Communication
Set up multiple distribution lists for and regular mail Communicate with CHILD Profile Communicate with healthcare providers

27 Project Timeline Clear beginning and ending dates
Remember WIC clinics now see clients every 3 months Consider other events and requirements happening at the clinics

28 More Lessons on Timeline
Include client notification period Include CHILD Profile training Remember agency’s procurement requirements

29 Funding and Contracting
Develop spreadsheet with funding specifics Determine caseload numbers Coordinate “cross program” funding Coordinate different types of contracts Joint letter to help emphasize the WIC Immunization partnership

30 Implementation Parent letter needs to be short and easy to read
Use “shot record” instead of “immunization record” Translations -- “mother’s maiden name” not understood

31 More Lessons on Implementation
Incentives Assure they are age appropriate Assure they arrive at the clinic before project begins

32 More Lessons on Implementation
Develop “Frequently Asked Questions” sheet to help WIC staff answer clients’ questions Assure there is coordination between WIC and data entry staff Get excited about the project – friendly competition among staff

33 What’s Next in Washington?
Still have more work to do Conduct similar project in 2003 Will apply lessons learned Continue to work on strengthen our partnership Share our work locally and nationally
