Describe the role of the Agency for Health Research and Quality and the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on directing the US Protective Services
Task Force and the Community Task Force panel members.
The relationship between Agency for Health Research and Quality (AHRQ), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDCP) and the US Protective Service Task Force (USPSTF)
has enhanced their coordination on delivery of services to the society. The objective of AHRQ
has been to produce evidence founded at making healthcare safer, equitable, more accessible, and
of higher quality. These organizations therefore play critical roles in ensuring that the goals of
healthcare services are achieved (
Bohnert et al., 2018).
The AHRQ and CDCP supports USPSTF through duties of their staff and evidence-based
centers that provides and prepares for reviewing the evidence for USPTF. Supporting the
research process helps in improving the quality, efficiency as well as improving the safety of the
American population. Additionally, AHRQ mission is to support the physicians through research.
The organization ensures this is achieved through providing ready research obtained from
patients records when decisions are being made. The CDCP and the community task force panel
members are therefore able to save time in their research practices and focus on improving the
safety of the American population (
Doubeni et al., 2021)
The AHRQ has a role of offering training to the specialists working under CDCP to target
patients with safety concerns including infections acquired in healthcare settings. This strategy
plays an important role in fighting infectious diseases, through provision of control and
management mechanisms. Education and research platforms have been the major concerns of the
AHRQ and CDCP has been addressing offering various resources with a goal of ensuring the
patients attain quality care (
Brasure et al., 2018).
