A modeling framework for AIDS/HIV nonacute care services.
This paper describes the conceptual structure underlying the microcomputer-based modeling system developed by Mathematica Policy Research, Inc. The modeling system was developed to assist communities in planning nonacute care services for symptomatic human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected persons. The modeling system is based on the assumptions that (1) the characteristics of the HIV epidemic and the availability of nonacute care service vary across communities and (2) combinations of nonacute care services can be appropriately substituted for one another and for hospital-based nonacute care to meet the varying medical and social needs of symptomatic HIV-infected persons.
