TL;DR
It is proposed that this objective of maximizing health and well‐being during the authors' essentially fixed span of life be delegated to a new field of medicine, perhaps to be known as clinical gerontology — a combination of preventive medicine and geriatrics.
Abstract
A major objective now and in the future should be that of maximizing health and well-being during our essentially fixed span of life. It is proposed that this objective be delegated to a new field of medicine, perhaps to be known as clinical gerontology--a combination of preventive medicine and geriatrics.

91 Citations1976Sidney R. Garfield, Morris F. Collen +4 more
A medical-care-delivery system specifically to relieve the impaired access to care that has invariably assompanied the elimination of personal fees by prepaid plans, Medicare and other third-party payment plans proved very satisfactory to patients and generally so to staff.

85 Citations1973Loring G. Dales, Gary Friedman +5 more
While there has been little difference in utilization of outpatient physician and laboratory services other than those directly connected with the Multiphasic Health Checkups, the study group subjects have had more diagnoses made and the overall mortality rate has been slightly lower.

Preventive MedicineAn historical review of multiphasic screening
20 Citations1973Lester Breslow
Automated multiphasic screening opens the possiblity of extending the health-maintenance type of health care to all groups of the population and may provide the basis for redirecting medicine in the future.
Preventive MedicineThe educational adjunct to multiphasic health testing
6 Citations1973F. Bobbie Collen, Robert Feldman +2 more
Should evaluative findings be indicative of success, the educational endeavor described may well serve as a demonstration model to provide leadership in an important innovative approach to health care, wherein education of the patient becomes an essential adjunct to the management of his care as prescribed by the physician.

Preventive MedicineScreening—A privilege not a right
5 Citations1974Maureen Henderson, Roger Sherwin
In an era of increasing public involvement in the general provision of medical care, it seems useful to divide screening procedures into those directed primarily toward reducing the impact of hazards which threaten the population as a whole, and those directed toward hazards whichthreat individual members of the population.
Preventive MedicineProgress toward the assessment of health status
3 Citations1975Dean F. Davies
The Preventive Medicine Center of the University of Tennessee Center for Health Sciences has been evolving computer-assisted health status profiles that are problem-oriented, urgency- oriented, disease-clustered, and interpretation-programmed.
Preventive MedicineScreening for the early detection of diseases in Great Britain
3 Citations1975J Chamberlain
It is concluded that there may be some development of programmes for the early detection and treatment of hypertension and of breast cancer, but for other diseases and for multiphasic screening, evidence so far available is insufficient to warrant any immediate extension from research towards service.
