Abstract
THE TULANE Multi-phasic Screening Project (THMP) is an experimental pilot program concluding its first year of operation, and is administered by the Department of Health Services Administration, Tulane University School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine. The program utilizes automated equipment and paramedical personnel in the application of various screening tests to large numbers of asymptomatic adult participants from the metropolitan New Orleans area. Reporting of results is accomplished through computerized read-out sheets forwarded to the referring physicians. The various screening examinations include electrocardiography, visual acuity, anthropometry and spirometry, tonometry, roentgenogram of the chest, clinical laboratory studies, and audiology. Results of screening tests are confidential. No physical examinations are performed at the facility. All data, whether normal or abnormal, are sent to the participant's physician on a computer readout sheet. These test results can be less accurate than diagnostic examinations, and are not in themselves, a basis for treatment.1
