WPSI Overview:
Through a five-year cooperative agreement with the U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services Health Resources and Services Administration
(HRSA), professional organizations representing the majority of women’s
health care providers have formed a coalition including consumer and
patient advocates with expertise in women’s health across the lifespan to
develop, review, and update recommendations for women’s preventive health
care services.  See more information about WPSI
<http://womenspreventivehealth.org/about/>.

These recommendations on preventive health screenings and services guide
clinicians in determining which services they should routinely offer to
their patients.  The recommendations, if adopted by HRSA, will help ensure
women receive a comprehensive set of preventive services without having to
pay a co-payment, co-insurance, or deductible.
