Cascade of Care for Hepatitis C Virus Infection Within the US Veterans Health Administration
Objectives. We measured the quality of HCV care using a cascade of HCV care model. Methods. We estimated the number of patients diagnosed with chronic HCV, linked to HCV care, treated with HCV antivirals, and having achieved a sustained virologic response (SVR) in the electronic medical record data from the Veterans Health Administration’s Corporate Data Warehouse and the HCV Clinical Case Registry in 2013. Results. Of the estimated 233 898 patie…
Impact of Race/Ethnicity and Gender on HCV Screening and Prevalence Among US Veterans in Department of Veterans Affairs Care
Objectives. We assessed HCV screening and prevalence among veterans and estimated the potential impact of complete birth cohort screening, accounting for the disparate HCV disease burden by race/ethnicity and gender. Methods. We used the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Corporate Data Warehouse to identify birth dates, gender, race/ethnicity, and laboratory tests for veterans with at least 1 VA outpatient visit in 2012. We calculated HCV scree…
Retention in Care
BACKGROUND: Patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection need lifelong medical care, but many do not remain in care. The effect of poor retention in care on survival is not known, and we sought to quantify that relationship. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective cohort study involving persons newly identified as having HIV infection during 1997-1998 at any United States Department of Veterans Affairs hospital or clinic who started a…
Effect of Managed Care on Preventable Hospitalization Rates in California
BACKGROUND: Hospitalization rates for ambulatory care-sensitive (ACS) conditions have emerged as a potential indicator of health care access and quality. The effect of managed care on reducing these potentially preventable hospitalizations is unknown. OBJECTIVE: To ascertain whether increases in managed care penetration were associated with changes in hospitalization rates for ACS conditions. DESIGN AND SETTING: Longitudinal analysis between 1990…
