Abstract

The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) has found automated multiphasic health testing (AMHT) to be an excellent complementary medical tool for providing health care for urban and nonurban employees. Automated multiphasic health testing adapted to a mobile unit has been particularly valuable in keeping the health of remote-area employees under surveillance. As a regional resource development agency, TVA is also interested in finding ways to upgrade the health of the area’s people. In cooperative community projects, TVA has helped to demonstrate the potential value of AMHT for introducing nonurban populations into a health care system and for improving existing health care by providing previously unavailable diagnostic services. But AMHT must be used in conjunction with organized health care delivery systems. If it is not, confusion in health care delivery and physician rejection may result.
