Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The primary endpoint of the study is the rate of increase in the influenza vaccination rate among people over 60 years of age in Germany. The primary endpoint will be measured using a pre-post comparison of influenza vaccination rates before (time point t0) and after the implementation of the ImpfDocNE software (time points t3 = end of influenza season I (March 2027) and t4 = end of influenza season II (March 2028)).

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary endpoints are acceptance, success factors, hurdles, and obstacles to the measures to be implemented. These will be collected at two points in time (t1 = 3 months after implementation of the measures (December 2026), t2 = 6 months after implementation of the measures (March 2027)) as part of a process evaluation using qualitative interviews.
