The Continuous Quality Immunization Improvement Process (CQIIP) is NOT an inspection; it should be used by the Services as a quality improvement mechanism to assist immunization operations with meeting compliance in the Eight Standards for Military Immunization.
It was developed in accordance with Department of Defense policy and recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP). The Defense Health Agency Immunization Healthcare Branch (DHA IHB) has 19 Immunization Healthcare Specialists (IHSs) geographically located around the world to assist with getting started with the CQIIP.
The CQIIP Customer Tool asks questions about each of the Eight Standards to help identify areas of improvement and provide a snapshot of the current process of an immunization program. An IHS then reviews the answers and coordinates a site visit to assist in implementing a safe and effective program, to share best practices, immunization resources, information, and provide verbal recommendations for any shortfalls identified during the visit. Approximately 7-10 days after the visit, the IHS will provide a written After Action Report (AAR) of his or her findings and recommendations.
