 Can I be sure that the Electronic Preventive Services Selector (ePSS) tool will provide the latest recommendations?

  • The ePSS application database for both the Web and PDA application is kept current with the latest U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommendations. The recommendations data are managed and updated periodically by the USPSTF staff.
  • For the PDA application, users can register for ePSS database update alerts. If registered, users will receive E-mail notifications of system and data updates for the ePSS PDA application based on a reminder frequency selected during registration process. When notified, users can perform a HotSync or ActiveSync® to update their device with the latest USPSTF recommendations.
  • Users will also be able to select an update reminder feature on their PC (during installation) that will prompt them to HotSync or ActiveSync® their PDA device on a weekly, monthly, quarterly, or yearly basis to obtain the latest USPSTF recommendations.
