The introduction of highly effective anti-HIV therapy in Taiwan has greatly reduced the mortality rate of AIDS. Unlike individuals with other chronic diseases, those with HIV are affected by social and cultural values, stigma, and discrimination, preventing them from seeking medical treatment and receiving information. If health care providers effectively construct a partnership care network, this will aid HIV-positive individuals in developing adequate self-management abilities. This paper adopts the chronic care model as the blueprint for the care of HIV-positive group as well as discussed the use and assessment of its six elements and its implementation among people with HIV. To facilitate the referral and use of the chronic illness care program, its implementation should consider community policy, self-management support, health care organization, decision support, delivery system design, and clinical information system. The key measures for successful implementation are checking the accessibility of community resources and making clinical decisions based on empirical guidance while also empowering and encouraging patients to participate in the decision making. To provide relevant information through the clinical information system, an alarm system was set up to track abnormalities and properly refer them to interdisciplinary specialists. Through the interdisciplinary team, the quality of life was improved. Furthermore, assessment of the six elements of the model led to a clearer understanding of the medical needs of people with HIV. This article attempts to use this new transformation model as an alternative for evaluating people with HIV. |
