| Annotation | This special volume is the first of a thematic series featuring innovative programmes in specific fields of community-based care and service delivery, and focuses on the transprofessional model of end-stage care in HIV/AIDS. This model was developed and tested by the Visiting Nurse Foundation of Los Angeles, and was one of 27 demonstration projects working under the co-operative agreement with the US Health Resources and Services Administration on a national, cross-cutting evaluation of service delivery, training projects, and managed service provision. The transprofessional model featured is a home-based case management and direct service care model which blends curative and palliative modalities in care of end-stage AIDS patients, in order to provide seamless, effective and efficient services to patients. Qualitative and quantitative results of the evaluation demonstrate cost savings achieved by this model of care as compared with more traditional models of care. (RH). |
