Preventative services
In a recent study conducted by Partnership for Prevention, they ranked the health impact and cost effectiveness of 25 preventive services recommended by two nationally recognized sources: the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force and Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices.
In this study, they identified:
Preventive services that are most valuable
Highest-value preventive services that are most under-utilized, and
Preventive services that would provide the most gains in health were utilization rates increased.
The article here shows which services we should focus our efforts. Certainly public education would also be of significant benefit.
