Abstract
Rooted in prevention since the 1973 HMO Act, managed care has weathered seasons enough to put down roots in patient education and preventive services. Now it shows a readiness for re-potting. For health promotion to reach full maturity and realize its highest calling, its roots need to spread into the community. Analysts have posited four stages of managed care market penetration; similarly, I propose four stages of maturation in managed care-based prevention initiatives (Table 1). These stages of prevention are based on an analysis of more than 100 presentations from a series of "Managed Care to Managed Health" conferences sponsored by The Institute for Research and Education, Health-System Minnesota in Minneapolis. The following descriptions of the stages of maturation illustrate the development of prevention efforts--from patient education and preventive services in early stages to improving the health of enrollees and ultimately the community in later stages.
