Brief Summary:
The objective of this study is to evaluate whether alerts that identify patients without hepatitis C infection to healthcare providers and clinic staff can increase the uptake of screening for hepatitis C. A period of time without alerts will be compared to a period of time with alerts.
Detailed Description:
An estimated 2.4 million people in the United States were living with hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection during the period of 2013-2016. There were 4,798 new cases of acute HCV infection reported to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) in 2020, but under ascertainment and underreporting of cases suggests that this number is less than 10% of all new HCV infections; as such, there were an estimated 66,700 new cases in 2020.
One-time screening is recommended by both the CDC and the United States Preventive Services Task Force for asymptomatic adults (aged ≥18 years and 18-79 years, respectively). The American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases and the Infectious Diseases Society of America additionally recommends annual testing for people who inject drugs and for HIV-infected men who have sex with men. Unfortunately, HCV screening rates remain low. The objective of this before and after study is to evaluate if an HCV screening algorithm, disseminated as risk score alerts in the CHORUS™ Disease Management and Clinical Considerations Report to healthcare providers and clinic staff, increases the uptake of HCV screening among patients who are HCV screening-eligible (i.e., not known to have current or prior HCV infection).
