AHRQ ePSS Web Conference: Using EHRs to Provide Preventive Services at the Point of Care 

AHRQ and the Health Research & Educational Trust of the American Hospital Association will present a free Web conference on Wednesday, Nov. 3, 2010, from 12:30-2:00 PM ET.

The conference is part of an ongoing outreach project by AHRQ to assist health care providers, educators, and other health care professionals in implementing the evidence-based recommendations of the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF). 

To make it easier to implement these recommendations in clinical practice, AHRQ has created the electronic Preventive Services Selector (ePSS), a free electronic application that includes the current recommendations of the USPSTF. It can be easily downloaded to a handheld device (e.g., iPhone, BlackBerry), installed as a widget on any Web site, or embedded into EMR and EHR systems. The ePSS allows clinicians to provide age, gender, and behavior-specific health screening, counseling, and preventive services to their patients at the point of care. 

David Schulke, Vice President of Health Research & Educational Trust / American Hospital Association will moderate; Dr. Yael Harris, PhD, Director of HRSA’s Office of Health IT and Quality, is among conference presenters. At the end of the Web conference, participants will be familiar with the USPSTF recommendations and understand how the free ePSS tool can be integrated into clinician workflow.
