AFIX: Exchange Component

Exchange Component

The eXchange component of AFIX can occur in conjunction with Feedback and Incentives or it can be an ongoing process of sharing, which shares information among providers. Once providers begin using strategies of assessment and feedback and are motivated to change behaviors and practices, they become more interested in learning more about the best ways to improve coverage. Information exchange allows providers and their staff to educate their peers on what barriers they faced in implementing specific interventions and how they overcome those barriers to achieve success.

Exchange of Information

Exchange of information can:

1. Inform providers about appropriate immunization practices and dispel any myths that may exist
2. Promote the value of assessment as a diagnostic tool
3. Share ideas about what works and what doesn't work
4. Create a sense of mutual support among providers
5. Create a common mission among providers and public health
