Slicing through silos: development and evaluation of a hospital-based telehealth hepatitis C virus treatment program.
This single site prospective cohort study aimed to measure linkage to care with a hepatitis C virus (HCV) clinician and initiation of HCV treatment in hospitalized patients with substance use disorder (SUD). This hospital-based telehealth program initially assessed patients in-person by a social worker then seen via telehealth by a clinician who prescribed either glecaprevir/pibrentasvir or sofosbuvir/velpatasvir. In/person and/or telephonic outreach was then conducted by the research team during and after hospitalization. If the patient was cured of HCV, it was confirmed by sustained virologic response at 12 weeks (SVR12) post-treatment. All 25 patients enrolled had a history of SUD and 18 were unstably housed. Nineteen patients initiated treatment and 14 successfully completed treatment. Twelve patients completed post-treatment labs, including two who prematurely discontinued treatment. Eleven patients achieved confirmed cure with SVR12.

Evaluation of treatment access and scope of a multistate hepatitis C virus Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes telehealth service in the US Indian Health System, 2017-2021.
Researchers evaluated the extent to which Indian Country Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes (ECHO) telehealth clinics increase access to hepatitis C virus (HCV) treatment and serve American Indians/Alaska Native (AI/AN) patients holistically. They conducted a retrospective descriptive analysis of Indian Country ECHO treatment recommendations from 2017 to 2021. Most patients received recommendations for HCV treatment by their primary care providers, along with recommendations beyond the scope of HCV. The researchers concluded that Indian Country ECHO telehealth clinic provided comprehensive recommendations to effectively integrate evidence-based HCV treatment with holistic care at the primary care level.
