Improve Guidelines on Preventive Care

Expand and improve coordination of Task Forces on Clinical Preventive Services and Community Preventive Services to develop, update, and disseminate evidence-based recommendations on the use of clinical and community prevention services, with an emphasis on health disparities. Task Forces will review the scientific evidence related to the effectiveness, appropriateness, and cost-effectiveness of clinical preventive services for the purpose of developing recommendations for the health care community, and updating previous clinical preventive recommendations, to be published in the Guide to Clinical Preventive Services.
