The image shows a semi-circle representing the Continuum of Care Model of the Institute of Medicine. Over the semi-circle are the overriding concepts of Prevention, Treatment, and Maintenance. The semi-circle is divided into seven areas. The first three fall under Prevention, and include Universal, Selective, and Indicated approaches (discussed in the TIP). The next two, Case Identification and Standard Treatment for Known Disorders, fall under Treatment. The last two, Compliance with Long-Term Treatment and Aftercare (including rehabilitation), fall under Maintenance.
