The US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) is an independent panel of non-Federal experts in prevention and evidence-based medicine. The USPSTF uses information from systematic evidence reviews to make recommendations for a broad range of clinical preventive health care services (such as screening, counseling, and preventive medications) that are delivered in or referred from primary care practice. USPSTF recommendations are developed for primary care clinicians, health systems, and policy-makers, and published in the form of "Recommendation Statements." The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) has been authorized by the US Congress to convene the Task Force and to provide ongoing scientific, administrative, and dissemination support to the Task Force. The NIH Office of Disease Prevention (ODP) works closely with AHRQ and the USPSTF to provide scientific input from NIH Institutes and Centers on draft research plans, draft evidence reviews, and draft recommendation statements. The ODP also disseminates information to NIH Institutes and Centers about high-priority evidence gaps for clinical preventive services that have been identified by the USPSTF.

Using Real-time Prescription and Insurance Claims Data to Support the HIV Care Continuum
|
Research Initiative
|
CDC
|
NIMH
|
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) have established co-funding agreement to collaboratively advance research under a cooperative agreement titled “Using Real-time Prescription and Insurance Claims Data to Support the HIV Care Continuum (CDC RFA-PS-19-003).” The purpose of the cooperative agreement is to develop, implement and evaluate a “Data-to-Care (D2C) Rx” and “Insurance-based D2C” model. Both models will use real-time pharmacy claims data to identify persons with HIV who fail to fill antiretroviral (ARV) medications and to target these individuals for escalating adherence, retention, and re-linkage interventions. The D2C Rx model will start by identifying persons with HIV who fail to fill prescribed ARV medications while the insurance-based D2C model will start with medical (diagnosis and procedure) claims to identify persons with diagnosed HIV and then use pharmacy claims data to determine whether these individuals fill ARV prescriptions.
