Screening measures are tools that help users monitor the development of certain health conditions and identify those patients where treatments may help in improving their outcomes. The HDC Discover App makes it simple for users to explore screening measures and access the guidelines that inform them. A key feature of the Single Measure View is the References tab, which provides links to approved guidelines to help users better understand screening recommendations and evidence-based care practices.
