TopWhat is the USPSTF?
The USPSTF (U.S. Preventive Services Task Force) is an independent panel of non-Federal experts in prevention and evidence-based medicine and is composed of primary care providers (such as internists, pediatricians, family physicians, gynecologists/obstetricians, nurses, and health behavior specialists).
The USPSTF conducts scientific evidence reviews of a broad range of clinical preventive health care services (such as screening, counseling, and preventive medications) and develops recommendations for primary care clinicians and health systems. These recommendations are published in the form of "Recommendation Statements."
These Recommendation Statements are what you see published in your Family Health Manager.
The USPSTF strives to make accurate, up-to-date, and relevant recommendations about preventive services in primary care.
To learn more detailed information about the USPSTF, including how it operates, current members and partners, and background information, please visit: http://www.uspreventiveservicestaskforce.org/about.htm.
For the USPSTF to recommend a service, the benefits of the service must outweigh the harms. The USPSTF focuses on maintenance of health and quality of life as the major benefits of clinical preventive services, and not simply the identification of disease.
To learn more detailed information about the USPSTF recommendation process, methods, commentary, and resources for practice, please visit: http://www.uspreventiveservicestaskforce.org/methods.htm.
What is the CDC?
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) publishes recommendations on immunizations for children.
These recommendations are what you see published in your Family Health Manager.
For more on the ACIP's current recommendations on immunizations, please refer to the National Immunization Program Web site at: http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/recs/schedules/default.htm.
The United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommendations are based on age, gender and other questions in your Family Profile(s). Each individual's health situation is unique, so before acting on this information please contact your provider for more detail about these recommendations and what is best for you.
