USPSTF Grade Picker
Enter a patient profile to surface the applicable U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommendations, grouped by grade (A/B/C/D/I). Evidence-based decision support for screening, counseling and preventive medication — not a mandate.
What it measures
Which USPSTF preventive-service recommendations apply to a given patient, grouped by the strength of the evidence (grade).
Scoring
Not a score: you enter the patient profile (age, sex and risk factors) and the tool filters the applicable recommendations and groups them by grade A/B/C/D/I.
The items

Under the physician's clinical judgement
- USPSTF recommendations are evidence-based decision support, not mandates; shared decision-making is central, especially for Grade B and C.
- Patient values and preferences are essential; some Grade A/B services may not apply to specific high-risk patients (clinical judgement).
- Recommendations are reviewed and updated periodically (2018–2024) — verify against current uspstf.org before acting.
- Calculation runs locally in your browser — no patient data is stored (HIPAA + state privacy).
- Vaccinations are handled by ACIP — see the immunization schedule. Occupational context: workplace wellness & fitness-for-duty.
