Medical CareDelayed Feedback of Physician Performance Versus Immediate Reminders to Perform Preventive Care
337 Citations1986William M. Tierney, Siu L. Hui +1 more
Overall compliance with the preventive care protocols was low: 10-15% in physicians receiving neither feedback nor reminders, increasing to 15-30% in those receiving reminders, but reminders have a greater effect.
GastroenterologyOccult blood screening for colorectal carcinoma: A critical review
336 Citations1985Jerome B. Simon
Though screen-detected tumors tend to be at a relatively early stage, this does not imply any benefit of surveillance because of lead time and length biases inherent in the screening process, and only controlled trials can answer the central question of whether screening decreases mortality from bowel cancer.
Journal of General Internal MedicinePerformance of cancer screening in a university general internal medicine practice
247 Citations1986Stephen J. McPhee, Robert J. Richard +1 more
Evaluated use of seven cancer screening tests by 52 providers in a university general internal medicine practice, using 1980 American Cancer Society recommendations as standards for comparison found knowledge about cancer screening and the ACS recommendations was highly variable, and frequently quite limited.
American Journal of Public HealthPreventive care: do we practice what we preach?
221 Citations1987Nicole Lurie, Willard G. Manning +4 more
Even with free care, most enrollees did not receive adequate preventive care and free care alone is not a sufficient incentive to providing recommended levels of preventive care.
Medical CareImproving Physician Performance Through Peer Comparison Feedback
165 Citations1984Richard N. Winickoff, Kathy L. Coltin +3 more
A project to improve physician performance in colorectal cancer screening was evaluated as part of an ambulatory quality assurance program, and behavior changes persisted at 6 and 12 months after intervention.
JAMAScreening Procedures in the Asymptomatic Adult
136 Citations1985Barbara Woo
Surgeons surveyed 83 physicians in a hospital-based ambulatory care practice and compared their recommendations with the recommendations in published guidelines, the desires of 188 of their own patients, and the physicians' actual practice patterns on the patients.
Southern Medical JournalThe Periodic Health Examination
125 Citations1981FREDRIC J. ROMM, Durham +2 more
Recommendations from three expert sources for preventive care by periodic health examination of adults are brought together to suggest that the periodic examination serves a purpose in addition to screening for disease and that the screening function need not be performed annually.
American Journal of Public HealthAdult cancer prevention in primary care: patterns of practice in Québec.
116 Citations1983Renaldo N. Battista
The unrealized potential for prevention through capitalizing on all encounters with primary care physicians is important, and should stimulate creative efforts to enhance preventive activities in medical practice.
American Journal of Public HealthPreventive content of adult primary care: do generalists and subspecialists differ?
110 Citations1984A J Dietrich, Harold I. Goldberg
Of many factors explored, only two were associated with more preventive services: provision of a complete physical examination to the patient, and a physician's belief in the importance of a given service.
Medical CareFinancial Incentives to Perform Medical Procedures and Laboratory Tests
89 Citations1978Steven A. Schroeder, Jonathan Showstack
The demonstrated financial incentives, which apply not only to internal medicine, but to all fields of medical care, are in conflict with policies that would emphasize personal rather than technical services.

84 Citations1981
RadiologyMammographic screening: how to operate successfully at low cost.
79 Citations1986Edward A. Sickles, Wolfgang Weber +3 more
To offer mammographic screening to asymptomatic women at low cost requires a different approach than is appropriate for solving the more complex problems presented by symptomatic patients, and computerization of record-keeping and of image interpretation is ideally suited for screening examinations.
JAMAImprovement in Hypertension Detection and Control From 1973-1974 to 1980-1981
72 Citations1983Aaron R. Folsom
Blood pressures from a 1980-1981 survey of 1,656 adults in Minneapolis-St Paul were compared with BPs from a similar community survey conducted in 1973-1974, showing impressive changes in hypertension detection and control that may have contributed to the recent decline in cardiovascular disease mortality in this community.
CancerThe economics of cancer prevention and detection: Getting more for less
47 Citations1981David M. Eddy
The principles of economics applied to the early detection of cancers of the lung, breast, Colon, colon, and cervix are illustrated.
PubMedTeaching sigmoidoscopy to primary care physicians: a controlled study of continuing medical education.
42 Citations1983Duranka Perera, James P. LoGerfo +3 more

PubMedAn evaluation of recorded information about preventive measures in 38 practices.
40 Citations1981D.M. Fleming, Martin Lawrence
The results of a review of practice records for information about various preventive measures and much less cervical cytology has been done for women in their 50s than for those in their 30s and 40s are reported.
American Journal of Preventive MedicineOccult-Blood Screening for Colorectal Carcinoma: The Yield and the Costs
36 Citations1985John Frank
Two major determinants of the overall "disease yield" of occult-blood screening are assessed, as well as the economic costs entailed by the maneuver; the use of Hemoccult screening as a routine health maintenance maneuver cannot yet be justified for any age-group.
