==History and purpose== HIV Clinical Resource was established in 1999 as a collaborative effort between the New York State Department of Health AIDS Institute (NYSDOH AI) and the Johns Hopkins University Division of Infectious Diseases.〔HIV Clinical Resource. New York: New York State Department of Health AIDS Institute. Available at http://www.hivguidelines.org〕 In recognition of the complex, multiple needs of New York State’s HIV-infected population, including HIV transmission risk factors, demographic-specific issues, as well as New York State HIV-related policies and programs, the NYSDOH AI established clinical guidelines to assist New York State healthcare providers in treating their HIV-infected patients and referring them to other HIV-related services. The NYSDOH AI also recognized the need to provide standards of care for its residents because of the large number of people living with HIV/AIDS in the state. In 2006, New York State reported the highest number of new cases of AIDS (5,495), as well as the highest number of residents living with AIDS (177,262).〔Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Cases of HIV Infection and AIDS in the United States and Dependent Areas, 2006. Atlanta, GA: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Available at http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/topics/surveillance/basic.htm〕 The program provides HIV-related clinical information, including:〔 * Clinical guidelines for the medical management of children, adolescents, and adults with HIV infection * Best practices related to HIV clinical care * Educational tools including teaching slide sets on HIV-related topics * Quality improvement materials * HIV-specific quality improvement software * Clinical performance data 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「HIV Clinical Resource」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
