Case Study of Miami AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome) Service Demonstration Project. Part 5

摘要

In October 1986 the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) awarded grants in Los Angeles, Miami, New York and San Francisco to initiate Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) Service Demonstration projects. The report is a case study of the Miami demonstration project including the following topics on Miami's AIDS services system: history of the response to AIDS, governmental organization, the demonstration project, health and social services, personnel, coordination of care, data systems, funding and planning. The South Florida AIDS Network (SFAN), established by a community-wide planning effort, coordinates a range of AIDS services in Miami. The demonstration funds the administration of SFAN, case management, and services not covered by state funds. Limited financial resources have resulted in a severe shortage of many AIDS services including ambulatory medical care, food distribution and housing.
