Effect of Patient Reminder/Recall Interventions on Immunization Rates is a review article that documents significant increases in the immunization rate when patient recall/reminder interventions are used.

The ACP-ASIM provides a number of resources concerning prevention for physicians. These resources include vaccine-specific information and practice tools, such as sample reminder letters that can be customized, information on billing and coding immunizations, and strategies from the CDC for increasing immunization rates. The site also provides access to A Guide to Expanding Educational Objectives in Internal Medicine Residency. One of the sections covered in the Guide is Preventive Medicine.
