Abstract:

A Hepatitis C (HCV) e-Consult Direct-To-Treatment (DTT) program managed by midlevel providers was developed at the Veteran Affairs Greater Los Angeles Healthcare System (VAGLAHS) which provided remote referral and, in some, remote management of HCV. DTT patients were more likely to be initiated on HCV treatment compared to standard of care (SOC), lending support for similar programs of remote engagement in HCV care.
