EQUITABLE FINANCING OF AIDS AND OTHER HIV-RELATED HEALTH CARE
Summary of an Invitational Meeting

OCR for page R2
This meeting summary was prepared by the staff of the Institute
of Medicine's Division of Health Care Services, directed by Karl D.
Yordy. Major themes are reported to provide highlights of the
conference discussions; however, they do not represent policy
statements by the Institute of Medicine.
The Institute of Medicine was chartered in 1970 by the National
Academy of Sciences to enlist distinguished members of appropriate
professions in the examination of policy matters pertaining to the
health of the public. In this, the Institute acts under both the
Acad~my's 1863 Congressional charter responsibility to be an advisor
to the federal government, and its own initiative in identifying
issues of medical care, research and education.
The conference was supported by the Health Care Financing
Administration, Department of Health and Human Services.

Preface
The equitable financing of the care of AIDS victims is
increasing as an issue as the number of cases of AIDS grows.
Given the projections of future growth, this issue will take
on even greater urgency in the years to come.
This summary records the sense of the discussion of this
issue during a meeting convened by the Institute of Medicine
at the request of Dr. William Roper, Administrator of the
Health Care Financing Administration.
~ _ _ _ Participants included
persons from both the public and private sectors knowledge-
able about the issue from various perspectives. The intent
was to stimulate a frank discussion among interested parties
that would improve the common understanding of the issue. We
hope that such understanding might facilitate reasonable
actions to deal with the problem. The challenge of AIDS is
so great that our best efforts at cooperative action will be
required.
I would like to thank the Health Care Financing
Administration for supporting the meeting and William Roper
and William Winkenwerder of HCFA for their advice and
assistance in its planning and organization. I would like
to thank all of the participants for their thoughtful contri
buttons. Special thanks are due Mary Ann Baily, consultant
to the TOM, for her work in drafting the background paper and
the meeting summary. Finally, I would like to thank Karl
Yordy, Dorothy Sheffield, and Bobbie Alexander for their work
in organizing this meeting on very short notice.
Samuel O. Thier
President, Institute of Medicine
