- Synopsis
- The Institute of Medicine's Committee on Preventive Services for Women, which consisted of specialists in disease prevention, women's health issues, adolescent health issues, and evidence-based guidelines, conducted a review of preventive services necessary to ensure women's health and well-being. The committee considered US Preventive Services Task Force recommendations, Bright Futures recommendations for adolescents, vaccinations specified by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, and other considerations. This report focuses on the preventive services for women specified in Section 2713 of the Public Health Service Act added by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA). It reviews existing guidelines used in the ACA to determine coverage; existing practices of national, state, and selected private health plans; a framework for identifying gaps in preventive services and a process for selecting how to address them; specific gaps for diabetes, cervical cancer, sexually transmitted infections, HIV, unintended pregnancy and healthy birth spacing, breastfeeding, interpersonal and domestic violence, and preventive visits; recommendations for updating guidelines for preventive services; and conclusions and limitations.
