U.S. Preventive Services Task Force
The 1996 U.S. Preventive Services Task Force Report: what's no longer worth doing?
Abstract
How often does a report tell clinicians what they no longer need to do? In this era of increasing managed care, primary care physicians are seemingly being asked to do more and more. Therefore, it's worth taking note of the new U.S. Preventive Services Task Force Report and the 11 interventions pertaining to pediatrics this document suggests could be dropped without sacrificing quality of care. In addition, a listing is included of the newly added chapters in this report that are of potential interest to pediatricians.
