Implementation and Evaluation of Care Coordination in Linkage to Care for Hepatitis C Following Release From New York City Jails
Completed
Conditions studied: Hepatitis C
In brief
This study assesses the impact of a hepatitis C care coordination program on rates of linkage to hepatitis C care following release from New York City jails. Adult patients (age 18 years and above) with chronic Hepatitis C infection at Bellevue Hospital Center 19 North prison clinic from July 1, 2015 through December 31, 2016 will be offered participation in a transitional care coordination program. The rates of linkage of these individuals following release from jail will be compared to a historical cohort of adult patients with chronic Hepatitis C infection at the 19 North prison clinic from January 1, 2014 through June 31, 2015.
