详细描述
The VISN1 VA Hepatitis C Testing and Linkage to Care Quality Improvement project aims to: (1) increase the proportion of Veterans tested for HCV in those born between 1945-1965 and in vulnerable, high-risk groups, (2) Increase linkage to specialized HCV care among VISN 1 VA Veterans diagnosed with HCV infection, and (3) Evaluate whether race, ethnicity, gender, or other markers of social disparity influence completion of HCV testing and linkage to specialty care, and whether disparities are reduced by the planned VISN 1 VA HCV Quality Improvement (QI) program. The central focus is to reduce delays in diagnosis and linkage to treatment evaluation, management of comorbidities and contraindications, and subsequent initiation.
