Abstract

Healthcare experts are touting the so-called integrated system as an "ideal" approach to healthcare delivery. They say these systems won't squander time, money or patient care contracting with each other or attempting to reconcile conflicting financial and utilization incentives that normally exist among hospitals, physicians, insurers and other providers.

Clinical social work and family medicine: a partnership in community service.

Traditionally, family physicians have been called on to handle the emotional problems of their patients. Their ability to address these concerns has been inconsistent. In hospital settings, where interdisciplinary teams are common, nonmedical professionals have been able to provide counseling services to patients. But this is a problem in private medical practices. This article presents a model for collaboration between family medical and clinical social work practice and describes a holistic approach for primary care practice.

Key elements for implementing comprehensive health care models for persons with HIV: a stakeholder analysis.

A semistructured interview was conducted with 69 stakeholders in three university-based health care projects that were funded to provide an integrated continuum of care for persons living with HIV/AIDS. Data from the key informant interviews yielded composite indicators of familiarity with the service model, the importance of the elements in the service model, and the perceived quality of services provided by these innovative HIV service demonstration projects. Ratings of service quality were related to ratings of the respondent's knowledge of the service demonstration project, the importance of the various elements in the service continuum, and several indicators of stakeholder characteristics using the data modeling method of Exhaustive CHAID (Chi-squared Automatic Interaction Detector). The groups of stakeholders most likely to give the highest quality or success ratings for these projects are identified. The implications of these findings for developing collaborative and comprehensive service models for persons with HIV/AIDS are discussed.
