Health maintenance update: guidelines for the physician and patient.
In summary, we have gathered information from current sources in order to provide practicing physicians up-to-date health maintenance recommendations. We have also provided sample forms that can be used for recording information and ensuring that timely screening is accomplished. These same forms could also be given to the patient who has a desire to be involved in his/her medical care. Although some of the recommendations will remain stable over a period of time, there will certainly be new developments in medicine that will alter today's advice. Our concept is that each physician should develop and keep up to date a plan of health maintenance and screening and have some method of ensuring that appropriate screening is accomplished.
