We’re In! 2020 – National HPV Roundtable

Your Health System is Invited to Join We’re In! 2020 for HPV Cancer Prevention

Healthy People 2020 is here! This year, we are calling upon U.S. health systems to protect adolescent population health by preventing HPV cancers.

Only 51% of teens are fully vaccinated against HPV cancers. We can do much better.

Your health system is part of the solution. The National HPV Vaccination Roundtable invites your organization and public health partners to join us in a national movement to prioritize and improve HPV vaccination. Sign on today for a year of learning, networking, and improving health through cancer prevention. Click here to view the slides from the Jan. 28, 2020 launch webinar or here to watch the recording.

What is We’re In! 2020?

The We’re In! 2020 Initiative for HPV Cancer Prevention is a national movement to catalyze and support U.S. health systems in protecting adolescents from future cancers. By joining, your organization will be recognized as a cancer prevention leader among peer organizations. The National HPV Vaccination Roundtable would like all health systems to say “We’re In!” when it comes to prioritizing HPV vaccination in 2020.

We’re In! 2020 is open to any health system in the U.S. that wants to prioritize HPV vaccination, including Integrated delivery systems, community health centers, medical groups, accountable care organizations, and private practices. There is also a role to play for state health organizations, public health partners and HPV/cancer prevention coalitions.

We recognize the unique role health systems play in protecting the public’s health. The Healthy People HPV vaccination goal won’t be achieved by individual healthcare professionals alone. It will take the power of integrated systems, working together, to achieve national vaccination goals and protect a generation of children from HPV-diseases, including cancer.

Leadership Engagement

To raise HPV vaccination rates to levels on par with other adolescent vaccines, an organizational imperative is critical. We have several tools to facilitate engaging your system leaders:

What is the Commitment?

Joining the initiative is an honorary pledge to focus on increasing HPV vaccination rates in 2020 among adolescents by age 13.
Organizations agree to determine their current HPV vaccination rates and set a 2020 performance improvement goal.
Organizations are not required to share their data. We will ask you to share simple, high-level data on baselines, mid-year, and final progress. This is optional. We will not monitor your data or expect you to develop specific IT reports. We will rely on your self-reporting of progress.
Organizations will be granted permission to use the We’re In! 2020 logo and materials based on the usage agreement.
While 80% completion rate for boys and girls by age 15 is the Healthy People 2020 goal*, we know not all health systems can attain that completion rate in one year. We are encouraging all partners to increase from where they are. This is not a race to 80%– it’s a movement towards rapidly increasing HPV rates to protect more of our youth from cancer.

*NOTE: HEDIS measure is 2 HPV shots by age 13. ACIP guidelines are two shots by age 13. Your system should align your goals to the most appropriate measures used or prioritized by your organization.
