Recommendations for case management collaboration and coordination in federally funded HIV/AIDS programs : a coordinated & collaborative case management environment for the client

This document \u2018Recommendations for Case Management Collaboration and Coordination in Federally Funded HIV/ AIDS Programs\u2019 developed by the Federal Interagency HIV/ AIDS Case Management Work Group describes the use of case management in different settings, examines the benefits and barriers to case management collaboration and coordination, and identifies methods for strengthening linkages between HIV/AIDS case management programs.Case management is widely used in HIV/AIDS programs to facilitate access to care, stable housing and support services for clients1 and their families. Since the beginning of the HIV epidemic, it has been the cornerstone of programs that seek to address a wide array of medical, socioeconomic and psychosocial factors that affect the functioning and well being of HIV-infected clients and their families.Prefaced by a cover letter, dated November 14, 2008, from Deborah Parham Hopson, of Health Resources and Services Administration HIV/AIDS Bureau, and Kevin A.
