Unformatted sample text from the term paper:
Pneumonia vaccines have been widely available for years, and their usefulness is beyond question. It appears that most of the attention on
pneumonia vaccines in current literature focuses on cost effectiveness. Ament, Fedson and Christie (2001) report on several studies and make observations on the findings of several others. The
researchers state that most studies have been made under the assumption that "vaccination is equally effective in preventing bacteremic (BPP) and nonbacteremic (NBPP) pneumonia" (Ament, Fedson and Christie, 2001; p.
2078), but that their study indicates that the vaccinations still are cost effective when preventing BPP alone, without considering the vaccinations effect on NBPP.
The vaccinations are available at a wide array of outlets, not all of which are health care providing facilities. Drug stores, public health offices and senior centers offer
flu and pneumonia vaccines at low or no cost. Given the effectiveness of the vaccine and the costliness of treating pneumonia, this cost factor alone is attractive. Also
attractive is the fact that its administration is not limited to already-overloaded hospitals, clinics and doctors offices. Disadvantages The pneumonia vaccine is less
effective in the frail elderly than in healthy, young adults (Ament, Fedson and Christie, 2001). As many as half of the elderly receiving the vaccine gain little or no
benefit from the effort. Even though the vaccine itself is highly cost effective, the process of securing, administering and marketing the availability of
the vaccine can be costly. Reduced effectiveness in the elderly population increases that cost. 2. Ways in which Quality Improvement initiative improve organizational performance.
