An article by The Heartland Institute cited a study published in the February 2015 issue of The American Journal of Managed Care® (AJMC®) titled “Leveraging Remote Behavioral Health Interventions to Improve Medical Outcomes and Reduce Costs.” In the study, researchers found that successful patient engagement in a nationally available, remotely delivered behavioral health intervention can significantly improve medical outcomes and lower healthcare costs.
Parade referenced an article published on AJMC.com, “COVID-19 Questions HIV-Positive Individuals Want Answered.” The article mentioned that as the environment surrounding the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic seems to change by the minute, the full extent to which immunocompromised HIV-positive individuals can be affected if they contract COVID-19 is not known.
