RWHAP Part F SPNS initiative aimed to link individuals co-infected with HIV and HCV to care by leveraging public health surveillance and clinical data systems. The project involved two major components:
- The creation of HCV clearance cascades: Clearance cascades helped jurisdictions identify gaps in HCV testing and treatment by tracking the movement of individuals with HCV from initial infection to cure (including potential reinfection).
- Outreach and linkage: Related activities focused on creating partnerships between jurisdictions and RWHAP clinics to develop clinic-based case conferencing lists and connect individuals to HCV treatment.
Components
- Activities of jurisdictions and their partner clinics to implement Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) Data to Care project activities.
- Mini-modules on the steps required to use available public health datasets to create and act upon HIV and hepatitis C viral clearance cascades.
- Review of the data to care project and lessons learned on HCV micro-elimination activities from the Arizona Department of Health Services.
