Enhancing Use of Clinical Preventive Services Among Older Adults: Closing the Gap” is now available online.
This report calls attention to the use of potentially lifesaving preventive services by adults aged 65 years and older. These services include vaccinations, various types of screenings for cancers, diabetes, lipid disorder, and osteoporosis, as well as smoking cessation counseling, among others. The report demonstrates, through analysis of state and national data sources, that these services are underused among the older population. New opportunities in the Affordable Care Act can help increase use of these services. This joint publication of the Centers for Disease Control, the Administration on Aging, the Agency for Health Care Research and Quality, and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services is available by clicking here. |
