Comprehensive (or Integrated) Healthcare Model
Three Comprehensive Healthcare projects are developing specialized medical care models within the context of a continuum of services in a medical clinic.
Each of the three programs developed an integrated set of psychosocial supports for the medical treatment received at the primary and specialty care clinic. One program coordinated this psychosocial support through a group of nutritionists (University of Nevada) while two projects used a nurse case manager model (University of Vermont, Washington University) supplemented by social workers (at Washington University). In all three cases, a linked continuum of psychosocial support services was developed for the medical patients of the clinic. Each of the programs provided state-of-the-art medical treatment for HIV/AIDS at its clinic.
As compared to the Managed (Capitated) Care Model Grantees, this group of projects has a relatively extensive and comprehensive set of integrated or "wrap-around" psychosocial services associated with it.
