TI  - Current processes of the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force: refining 
      evidence-based recommendation development.
PG  - 117-22
AB  - The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF), an independent panel that has 
      provided the gold standard for evidence-based guidelines in prevention for the 
      past 2 decades, continuously refines its methodology. To keep up with the 
      evolving field of evidence- based medicine and to update recommendations in a 
      timely, efficient, and transparent manner, the USPSTF has developed new methods 
      for evidence reviews and recommendation development. This article summarizes the 
      most recent changes in the recommendation development process, including how the 
      USPSTF solicits and prioritizes topics for review, updates evidence reviews and 
      recommendations, and communicates with its audience.
