Using qualitative workflow mapping to plan for implementation of pediatric vaccine promotion intervention and trial

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: To inform a pediatric clinic-based vaccine promotion trial, we conducted workflow mapping interviews with 8 providers and staff at two pediatric clinics. Using an interview guide, participants described the vaccine delivery process and shared perspectives on barriers and facilitators. Interviews were recorded, transcribed, and analyzed using rapid qualitative methods. We created visual workflow maps that guided intervention refinement and tailored implementation protocols for our pilot cluster RCT. We recommend integrating workflow mapping into intervention planning timelines to ensure contextual fit. Rapid qualitative analysis is an efficient, well-suited method for this type of pre-implementation formative research.
