Abstract
The research objective of this proposal is to investigate the impediment with respect to moving a patient from initial antibody/PCR positive to successful completion of treatment. Secondary objectives include determining the most effective way for patients to progress from initial antibody/PCR positive to treatment and identifying the roadblocks for HCV antibody/PCR positive patients to be treated effectively.
Data was collected from 2019 HCV patient EMR charts, including demographics, laboratory studies, and treatment history. Concerning treatment, we evaluated linkage to the care; we defined success as treatment within six months of the initial visit. Thus, data on treatment initiation was collected through the first six months of 2020.
