Description:
"CDC has a long history of monitoring the use of clinical preventive services to provide public health agencies, health care providers and their partners information needed to plan and implement programs that increase use of these services and improve the health of the U.S. population. Better use of clinical preventive services could prevent tens of thousands of deaths each year. With passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 as amended by the Heathcare and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010, which expands health insurance coverage for the United States population and increases access to preventive services, there are new opportunities to promote and improve use of these valuable and life-saving services. This report provides baseline data prior to implementation of the provisions of the Affordable Care Act. Public health and clinical medicine complement and enrich each other, but they must engage with each other to maximize their impact. Synergies created through cooperation can amplify the impact that either might produce working alone. Public health can also serve as an honest broker by providing unbiased and scientifically accurate information to policy makers, the health-care community, and the public, and is well equipped to monitor health systems to facilitate increases in effectiveness and efficiency. This MMWR Supplement on the Use of Selected Clinical Preventive Services Among Adults--United States, 2007-2010 is the first in a periodic series of reports examining use of selected clinical preventive services.." -p. 1
