The Geometry of Care: Linking Resources, Research, and Community to Reduce Degrees of Separation Between HIV Treatment and Prevention shows how to link bottom-up and top-down approaches to advance care, services, resources, training, theory, and policy analysis. Leading authorities draw upon behavioral and organizational theory to discuss the development of the frameworks necessary to effectively disseminate knowledge to benefit those needing care and to protect the community from further risk.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Geometry of Care builds a powerful case for the development of sustained links among academic resources and the community. Practical strategies are provided to set up a dynamic response framework to integrate the latest advances in treatment and prevention. The first section focuses on System and Program Level Geometry, the second on Patient and Provider Level Geometry. This is the book that shows how to meet the challenge to effectively understand, diagnose, treat, and prevent AIDS simultaneously on multiple fronts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTopics in The Geometry of Care include:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e expanding strategic care to include patient, community, and medical centers\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e the assessment, dissemination, and integration of new advances\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e the bottom-up development of links among providers, systems, and settings\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e increased communication through the network of generalists and specialists within hospitals\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e examples of infrastructure building at a family health service, a medical center-based AIDS center, and a home-based ambulatory care program\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e how sustained setting\/site relationships help to foster customized interventions\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e serving clients better by tracking them through data management\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e integration of prevention and treatment for clients dealing with multiple co-morbidities \u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e forging links between Western and traditional medicine\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e tailoring prevention strategies to fit the individual\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e shifting the locus of care to the HIV-positive individual\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e an inter-organizational approach to supporting patient-provider interaction\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e understanding barriers to adherence\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e HIV as a family diseaseand the geometry of care as a family issue\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e the need for partnership between patient and primary care provider\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e individuals with HIV and their instrumental role in prevention and transmission\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e \u003ci\u003e much, much more!\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Geometry of Care is a unique, horizon-expanding book that is perfect for community workers, community activists, public health professionals, HIV clinical providers, adherence specialists, applied sociologists, and other practitioners dedicated to finding ways to provide the best in care.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54233520472408,"sku":"9780789032126","price":64.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780789032126.jpg?v=1779421564","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/geometry-of-care-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
