Description:

Traditionally, health education for practicing health professionals, as well as members of the public, focuses on the individual and relies on changing personal behavior. However, health care for persons with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), and members of their families, mainly is delivered within health and human services organizations. Providing AIDS education for health care professionals in an organizational or systems context shifts the focus from the individual to the group and from changing a person's behavior to offering health care professionals opportunities for interaction. In an organizational or systems approach, they can address patient care issues collectively, share interdisciplinary knowledge, identify problems of common concern, plan coordinated and integrated responses, and provide mutual support. A strategy for planning AIDS education is proposed for key administrators, supervisors, and care providers, who are the gatekeepers, opinion makers, and role models of organizations. Addressing organizational, community, and health care delivery system issues as part of an education program provides a forum for defining problems and a basis for uniting professionals and developing solutions.
