Disclaimer
This tool is clinical decision support, not medical advice. It restates published recommendations and does not diagnose, treat, or prescribe. It does not replace the judgment of a qualified clinician, and using it creates no clinician–patient relationship. Every result must be reviewed by a licensed clinician against the individual patient before any test, medication, or vaccine is ordered.
It assumes an asymptomatic, average-risk patient. Several intake items adjust the output but do not make it complete: personal history of cancer, coronary artery disease and heart failure raise an out-of-scope warning, because surveillance and secondary prevention follow specialty-society guidance; immunosuppression changes vaccine rows (live vaccines are withheld); pregnancy activates pregnancy services, opens gestational diabetes screening, and withholds vaccines not given in pregnancy; BMI settles diabetes screening and the obesity intervention, with the overweight threshold moving from 25 to 23 when Asian American is ticked, as the Task Force’s own practice considerations direct; and a family history of colorectal cancer moves the colorectal start age to 40, or 10 years before the relative’s age at diagnosis if earlier, following US Multi-Society Task Force guidance for a first-degree relative. The tool does not account for symptoms, known pathogenic variants, inflammatory bowel disease, prior high-dose chest radiation, hereditary cancer syndromes, the degree or type of immunosuppression, gestational age, or prior screening and vaccination records — any of which can move a patient outside these guidelines.
The age limits on pregnancy and BRCA are local, not USPSTF. The BRCA risk-assessment row stops at 75. The pregnancy-related rows (folic acid, pregnancy-specific services, perinatal depression) stop recommending above 45 and ask for confirmation instead, and above 55 the pregnancy question is removed from the form altogether, so those rows cannot activate at all. The published statements set no such upper ages; these are choices made in this tool to keep routine entries from generating orders on their own. A clinician who needs any of them outside these ages should work from the statement itself — the quote panel on each row links to it. The same applies to the PREVENT row. It now computes the score on this device from the published PREVENT base equations — no urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio, no HbA1c, no deprivation index, and no race term — and the implementation was checked against two independent open-source implementations of the same equations before release. It is still an estimate from a model: verify it on the AHA calculator, which the row links to, before acting on it. PREVENT does not apply to anyone with established cardiovascular disease, where a risk estimate does not change management, and the American Heart Association publishes the official PREVENT source code under a free license agreement at heart.org/PREVENT. Dyslipidemia screening is not a USPSTF row at all — the Task Force has no current Grade A or B statement on lipid screening, so that row is sourced to the 2026 ACC/AHA multisociety dyslipidemia guideline and badged AHA.
Guidelines change, and this tool may be out of date. Content reflects USPSTF and ACIP recommendations as published in September 2026. Cervical cancer screening is under active USPSTF update; COVID-19 moved to individual-based decision-making in November 2025 and pneumococcal dropped to age 50 in January 2025. Verify against the current USPSTF and CDC sources before clinical use.

No patient data leaves this device. Entries are held in the page only, are not transmitted or stored, and are cleared when the form is reset or the page is closed. Copy places text on this device’s clipboard only. Email, Text message, and Send open this device’s own mail, messaging, or share app with the patient plan filled in — the tool itself sends nothing, and the patient cards contain no name, age, or conditions unless you type an email address. Print builds the PDF on this device; nothing is uploaded. Only the color theme choice is remembered.
