Today, "health examination" still belongs to the category of preventive medicine, which has not formed an independent discipline and its connotation is relatively narrow. Tzu Chi, as the first professional physical examination institution in China, combined with foreign experience and domestic reality, put "health education" and "health management" into the category of "physical examination". This mainly changed the concept of health and improved the quality of service after examination, which not only enriched the content and improved the standard of physical examination, but also played a positive role in promoting the positioning and development of the domestic physical examination market.
Physical examination is a health-centered physical examination. General medical scientists believe that physical examination refers to a comprehensive examination of the body without obvious diseases. It is convenient to know the physical condition and screen physical diseases. That is, physical examination of healthy people through physical examination is a "health examination" or "preventive health examination"
Physical examination is the diagnostic link of medical treatment, the first step of medical treatment, and the diagnostic means of symptoms or diseases and their related factors. Because in the past, I only went to see a doctor when I was sick, so the physical examination for the purpose of diagnosis and treatment of diseases is generally called "medical physical examination". Physical examination for admission, enrollment, enlistment, driving license, going abroad, marriage, insurance and other procedures. It is a physical examination based on specific work or behavior, which is called "social physical examination". Physical examination of healthy or sub-healthy people who are not sick, newly ill or about to get sick belongs to health examination.
