What Is the Clinical Preventive Services Quality Performance Compared to Mid-Atlantic States?
The Clinical Preventive Services summary measure represents compliance with selected recommendations of the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force and the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practice. These two expert bodies use the best research evidence available to make recommendations on preventive services for people without symptoms of disease. Such services include immunizations, tests to screen for the presence of diseases, and behavioral counseling (such as programs that encourage smokers to quit). Most preventive services are provided in primary care ambulatory clinical settings.
