What is a "Holistic" Health Check?

Does the "Holistic" Health Check mean that the health status of the examinee can be known comprehensively by multiple assessments made by different specialists? The answer is "No". If the specialists only give recommendation on his own specialty and then sum up all their opinions, it is not a "Holistic" Health Check but is just a "Multiple" Professional Health Check.

The real "Holistic" Health Check not only needs the figures submitted by all the specialists, but also need a professional who is familiar with these specialties, to elaborate the figures and make a conclusion. The key to success is heavily depended on the habitual practice of handling cases by an inter-disciplinary approach. It takes time to develop such an "Inter-disciplinary" attitude to a "Model and Culture", which is not just a slogan.
