U.S. Preventive Services Task Force — Prevention TaskForce
The electronic Prevention TaskForce, a free application available from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, is a quick, hands-on tool designed to help primary care clinicians identify and offer the screening, counseling, and preventive medication services that are appropriate for their patients.

Prevention TaskForce is based on the current, evidence-based recommendations of the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force and can be searched by specific patient characteristics, such as age, sex, and selected behavioral risk factors.

Note: Prevention TaskForce is also available as a downloadable mobile application for the following devices:
