The authors report on a detailed cost study of HIV-infected patients receiving treatment at the McGill medical facilities. The results indicated that a home care setting is a cost-efficient site in which to care for an AIDS patient, with care provided in other settings when required. As the number of people with AIDS increases, efforts are needed to develop alternative care services for those infected with the virus. What is required would seem to be a service delivery system which would ensure cost-effective continuity of care across a continuum of services geared to varying levels of independence and illness severity.
作者报告了一项针对在麦吉尔医疗设施接受治疗的艾滋病毒感染患者的详细成本研究。结果表明，家庭护理环境是护理艾滋病患者的一个具有成本效益的场所，必要时可在其他环境中提供护理。随着艾滋病患者数量的增加，需要努力为病毒感染者开发替代护理服务。似乎需要一个服务提供系统，以确保在一系列针对不同独立程度和疾病严重程度的服务中实现具有成本效益的连续护理。
