title: Health promotion: a life-long spectrum for health care facilities.
abstract: Although many traditional health care facilities were not called upon to contribute to health promotion and prevention in two statements from ministers of National Health and Welfare, many have well-established programs that complement treatment. As it is important to be able to measure the effectiveness of these activities, the author proposes that a Promotion and Prevention Index (PPI) be created within the health care system. The PPI, a percentage factor, would be applied to services and programs and, hopefully, provide a scale for formal recognition among traditional institutions.
