AIDS update: an executive report.
Jackson Memorial Hospital, Miami, lost $5.6 million treating AIDS patients last year. Executives at the 1,246-bed public hospital project losses of more than $7 million in 1990. Jackson Memorial's experience is unfortunately all too typical of the effect that AIDS has had on public hospitals. But AIDS is not just a public hospital problem. The trend toward concentration of AIDS cases in public hospitals could have dire consequences for all hospitals in a community, say analysts. But the impact of AIDS on the health care community can be felt at a number of different levels. This executive report also takes an in-depth look at: How case management is being used--or misused--with AIDS patients. How much money state legislatures are allocating for AIDS and what the states are spending the funds on How executives are dealing with various liability issues.
