IPRO would like to invite members of your hospital staff to the next event in our series of telephone conference calls focusing on increasing timely hospital-based immunizations that will be taking place on September 11th and 16th, 2003. The first series of conference calls, which took place in July 2003, was very well attended and received high marks from participants. While the first series stressed changes in CMS regulations, the upcoming conference calls will feature a variety of local New York hospitals (both upstate and downstate) that have developed exciting and innovative approaches to increasing immunization rates and they will be sharing these experiences and successful processes with participants.

Please distribute the enclosed invitation and encourage participation of your medical staff, infectious disease, pulmonary, pharmacy, quality improvement and nursing staff members.

Please use fax back registration form to register for the conference, the form contains a listing of the conference call dates and times.

We look forward to your participation in this learning experience.

Should you have any questions regarding this memorandum, please contact Marcia Wallen-Brinson at 516-326-7767, extension 422.
