This paper outlines the genesis of the MHP, and the relationship of its Coordinated Health Care and Disability Prevention model to traditional managed care and 24-h care models. In order to effectively implement disability prevention principles within a primary care clinical setting, it is essential to increase health care provider awareness that the disability relating to a specific impairment can be positively impacted by specific clinical strategies. The basis and specifics of these strategies are also discussed. Plans for the evaluation of this model will also be described.<p> document-rn18450 Models, Organizational Health Benefit Plans, Employee/*organization & administration 2022-02-21T22:48:57.408-06:00 Employment, Supported Journal of occupational rehabilitation 12540 Workers' Compensation/*organization & administration public *Managed Care Programs 10.1023/a:1013598204042
