Leading Health Indicators

Leading Health Indicators (LHIs) are critical health issues that—if tackled appropriately—will dramatically reduce the leading causes of death and preventable illnesses. The Clinical Preventive Services LHIs are:

• Adults who receive a colorectal cancer screening based on the most recent guidelines (C-16)
• Adults with hypertension whose blood pressure is under control (HDS-12)
• Adults with diabetes with an A1c value greater than 9% (D-5.1)
• Children aged 19 to 35 months who receive the recommended doses of DTaP, polio, MMR, Hib, hepatitis B, varicella, and PCV vaccines (IID-8)
