Preventive care in daily practice

J Okla State Med Assoc. 2000 Apr;93(4):154-60.

Abstract

Advances in medical science have led to effective preventive steps that can be used by all physicians; however, most current preventive evaluations and applications are given in primary care settings. Hence, integrating preventive care into practice has become an important challenge for all primary care physicians. This article reviews the delivery of clinical prevention including implementation, barriers, and management. It is clear that preventive care leads to healthier people and that should be the goal of all medicine.
