Summary

The objective of this study is to evaluate whether sending alerts to healthcare providers and clinic staff to identify patients with untreated hepatitis C infection can increase the uptake of hepatitis C treatment. A period of time without alerts will be compared to a period of time with alerts.

Detailed description

The hepatitis C virus (HCV) is one of the most common bloodborne pathogens in the United States. A large proportion of people with HCV infection progress to chronic HCV infection despite the availability of effective treatment; chronic infection can result in cirrhosis, end-stage liver disease, liver cancer, and liver-related death. HCV infection can be cured most of the time with treatment. The objective of this before and after study is to evaluate whether sending alerts to healthcare providers and clinic staff to identify patients with untreated hepatitis C infection can increase the uptake of HCV treatment. A period of time without alerts will be compared to a period of time with alerts. Healthcare providers and clinic staff will not receive alerts during the before period of the study. Healthcare providers and clinic staff will receive alerts during the after period of the study.
