Article Synopsis
- - Vaccination efforts for COVID-19 have been hindered by a significant portion of the US population remaining unvaccinated, prompting hospitals to seek alternative vaccination opportunities, especially for admitted patients.
- - The "Vax the Max" program was implemented at a hospital to gamify the COVID-19 vaccination process for internal medicine residents, resulting in an increase in vaccination rates from 5.3 to 8.8 doses administered in a 4-week period.
- - A survey revealed that 76.8% of participating residents felt more engaged in vaccination tasks due to the gamification approach, suggesting that similar strategies could be beneficial for improving other clinical tasks in the future.
