title: Financial aspects of the provision of care to AIDS patients at Hartford Hospital.
abstract: Data on the provision of care to persons with AIDS at Hartford Hospital are presented for the years 1988 and 1989. Approximately 2% of the total operating loss from uncompensated care at the hospital was due to patients with AIDS during both of those years. While the hospital continues to show a net surplus of revenues over expenses, the operating loss incurred by the hospital for the provision of care to hospitalized case-definition AIDS patients increased by 88.1% between 1988 and 1989.
