The purpose of this study was to implement HCV screening for baby boomers presenting to a community hospital emergency department (ED) and to facilitate linkage to care. We developed a process within our electronic medical record system to screen patients for HCV testing eligibility, link eligible patients to laboratory orders, notify patients of HCV test results (via patient navigator) and track follow\u2010up care. We tracked performance from February 2016 to December 2018. Sociodemographic compositions and linkage to care rates of all participants were evaluated. A total of 14,927 patients from the birth cohort of 1945\u20131965 were screened for HCV. Of those tested, 555 (3.7%) had a positive HCV antibody test and 147 were HCV RNA\u2010positive patients (1.0%) demonstrating that only 27% of HCV antibody\u2010positive individuals were chronically infected. Males, black race and USA\u2010born baby boomers had a higher prevalence of HCV antibody and viral load positivity (<jats:italic>p\u00a0<\/jats:italic>&lt;\u00a00.05). Initially, only 17.6% of patients were ultimately linked to care, which improved to over 94% after the implementation of patient navigation support. There is a need for HCV screening protocol in the community. The cost of implementing an HCV screening programme must include information technology and a team of care coordinators to improve screening rates and facilitate linkage to continual care using the four pillars framework.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/jvh.13654","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,13]],"date-time":"2022-02-13T16:54:05Z","timestamp":1644771245000},"page":"263-270","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Integrating hepatitis C virus screening of baby boomers at a community hospital emergency department"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"29","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5434-3557","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gregory","family":"Wu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery Holy Name Medical Center  Teaneck New Jersey USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Aiqi","family":"Zhou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Data Science Institute Columbia University  New York New York USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Steve","family":"Kwon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery Holy Name Medical Center  Teaneck New Jersey USA"},{"name":"Department of Surgery Columbia University Medical Center  New York New York USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/hep.25556"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7326\/M13-1133"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMp1400986"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMoa1214853"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.2013.109309"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cgh.2013.06.024"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMp1302973"},{"issue":"4","key":"e_1_2_9_9_1","first-page":"1","article-title":"Recommendations for the identification of chronic hepatitis C virus infection among persons born during 1945\u20131965","volume":"61","author":"Smith BD","year":"2012","journal-title":"MMWR Recomm Rep"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2105\/AJPH.2013.301211"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.15585\/mmwr.mm6914a2"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_12_1","unstructured":"ChouR DanaT FuR et al.Screening for Hepatitis C Virus Infection in Adolescents and Adults: A Systematic Review Update for the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force.
