In a project during flu season, I worked with our Infection Control Practitioners on this: "Novel use of the intranet to document health care personnel participation in a mandatory influenza vaccination reporting program" published in the Feburary issue of the American Journal of Infection Control. With coauthors including our Cheif Nursing Officer and one of our Infectious Disease physicians, this study shows how to measure if not encourage hospital employees to get a flu shot.  In spite of some difficulties in analyzing the data, 89% of the health system employees participated in the Intranet questionnaire about their decision on the vaccine.
