Abstract: This paper examines innovative models for enhancing disease prevention and early diagnosis within primary care settings. A comprehensive literature review was conducted to analyze studies published between 2000-2016 on novel approaches to preventive care in primary practice. The review included 25 studies meeting the inclusion criteria. Results demonstrate that innovative models such as team-based care, risk stratification, advanced health information technology, and patient engagement strategies can significantly improve preventive care delivery and early disease detection. Solid evidence was found for the effectiveness of these models in managing chronic disease risk, increasing cancer screening rates, and identifying mental health issues earlier. Implementation of these innovative approaches led to improvements in clinical outcomes, patient satisfaction, and cost-effectiveness. However, challenges regarding widespread adoption, integration with existing systems, and sustainable funding still need to be addressed. This review highlights the potential of primary care to serve as a preventive powerhouse by implementing innovative care models.
