Improving Inpatient Screening for Hepatitis C

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

This study will use a stepped-wedge cluster randomized clinical trial to evaluate a health system initiative to set defaults in the electronic health record admission order set to nudge inpatient hepatitis C (HCV) screening.

Clinical Trial Description

The hepatitis C virus (HCV) is the leading cause of liver transplant and hepatocellular carcinoma in the United States, but direct-acting antiviral medications are now available and can cure the disease in over 95% of those that are treated. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimate that 75% of all chronic HCV infections in the United States are among adults born between 1945 and 1965. The CDC and US Preventive Services Task Force (USPTF) therefore recommends birth cohort screening for all adults born in this time period. In 2016, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania signed into law a requirement that all hospitalized patients born during this time period be offered HCV screening. In this study, a stepped-wedge cluster randomized clinical trial will be conducted to test the effect of defaulting HCV screening into the admission order set to improve screening rates. ;
