Screening/Physical Exam/ Health Maintenance
JosephConigliaro andSandeepKapoor

Introduction

Traditional medical pedagogy stresses the importance of a complete patient history and physical exam. Though this is extremely relevant for the purposes of learning and perfect­ing skills, the reality of clinical practice does not allow the clinician to complete a full examination at each patient visit. Therefore, clinicians need to decide how to narrow the focus. When is it appropriate to perform focused history taking and examinations? What can the clinician use to guide these deci­sions? Evidence-based recommendations for screening can support the decision process and help guide the content of the encounter with the patient and the care provided. This chapter will highlight the importance of prevention, harm reduction, and thoughtful screening to better inform the physical examination and health maintenance planning.

Intersection ofPublic Health andPrimaryCare
Public health and epidemiology provide insights into the prevalence of diseases and conditions in different populations. Public health focuses on prevention of disease and health pro­motion rather than the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. The equation of one’s overall well-being is now understood to be influenced by many factors, including but not limited to the social, environmental and economic, as well as one’s education, employment, healthcare access, genetics, and health behaviors. The intersection of public health and primary care is one that requires exploration, reflection, strategy, and action.
Social Determinants ofHealth (SDOH) [1]
Chapter 1. Screening/Physical Exam/Health…
The World Health Organization (WHO) defines social deter­minants of health as “The conditions in which people are born, grow, work, live, and age, and the wider set of forces and systems shaping the conditions of daily life. These forces and systems include economic policies and systems, development agendas, social norms, social policies and political systems” [2]. Addressing social determinants is an important and ever­developing area of practice that entails starting earlier and broadening the scope of interventions, thus making entire families and communities healthier [3].
Evidence and personal experiences have validated that quality of life, physical and mental health, and overall well­being are impacted by SDOH and that healthcare teams have the power to manifest equity of care. To do so demands understanding, compassion, and skill. The following domains can be explored in a timely fashion to better understand a patient’s circumstances: housing, transportation, and neigh­borhoods; racism, discrimination, and violence; education, job opportunities, and income; access to nutritious foods and physical activity opportunities; purity of air and water; and language and literacy skills [1]. Acknowledgment of individu­als, in a holistic manner, is key to partnership and co­navigation toward better health outcomes.

Prevention
Prevention activities are crucial in defining policies, guide­lines, and clinical approaches. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) deconstructs the landscape of prevention into three categories [4]:
• Primary prevention: intervening before health effects
occur, through measures such as vaccinations, altering
risky behaviors (poor eating habits, tobacco use), and ban-
ning substances known to be associated with a disease or
health condition [4].
• Secondary prevention: screening to identify diseases in the
earliest stages, before the onset of signs and symptoms,

through measures such as mammography and regular
blood pressure measurement [4].
• Tertiary prevention: managing disease post-diagnosis to
slow or stop disease progression through measures such as
chemotherapy, rehabilitation, and continued screening for
complications [4].
Harm Reduction
Harm reduction refers to interventions aimed at reducing the negative effects of health behaviors without necessarily extin­guishing the problematic health behaviors completely or permanently. The term “harm reduction” is tightly and tradi­tionally associated with substance and tobacco use [5, 6]; however the philosophy of harm reduction can be applied to all health behaviors where reduction of harm can be sought via mitigated and measured behavioral change.
The principles of harm reduction in healthcare settings [7] can serve to orient one’s personal mindset on how to approach this perspective (Table 1. 1 ) and how to apply to a prevalent health disorder such as obesity (Table1.2).
