The Bailey-Boushay House: an AIDS facility.
Currently, the cost of caring for an AIDS patient in a nursing facility is about half as much as for the same services provided in a hospital. With the current emphasis on reducing the cost of healthcare, the Bailey-Boushay House serves as a model for others interested in providing specialized care for AIDS patients in a similar setting. If similar facilities are planned there will be opportunities for health information managers to participate in planning for a new, or remodeling an existing, facility. Only an individual's imagination will limit the possibilities.
