What this research studies
This research aims to develop a holistic health care approach for veterans with HIV, focusing on integrating specialty care with primary care services. It recognizes the unique challenges faced by these veterans, including aging and comorbidities, and seeks to enhance their overall health experience. By creating a blueprint for implementing Whole Health clinical care, the project will address the need for coordinated care that considers both medical and social factors affecting veterans. The methodology involves gathering data and insights from existing care practices to inform the development of effective implementation strategies.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could significantly improve the health outcomes and quality of life for veterans living with HIV by providing more coordinated and comprehensive care.
How similar studies have gone: While the integration of Whole Health approaches in primary care has been explored, this specific focus on specialty care for veterans with HIV is relatively novel.
