Description
Summary:In 1988, the vast majority of urban US hospitals (84%) exhibited some formal response to the demand for HIV-related services. Despite the fact that HIV-related care is now normative in many respects and the demand for inpatient care has decreased, nearly half of hospitals surveyed in 1997 (42%) report no formalized service provision, suggesting a heightened distinction between hospitals in terms of their varying commitments to providing HIV-related services. Despite significant changes over the study period in the treatment of persons living with HIV/AIDS, and structural changes in the delivery of US healthcare, the organizational-level predictors of HIV-related service provision have remained remarkably stable among US hospitals in urban settings.
