Expanding Primary Care Capacity to Treat Hepatitis C

This report describes CDC-funded programs in Utah and Arizona to improve access to primary care providers with the ability to manage and treat HCV infection. The programs were modeled on the Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes (Project ECHO) developed by the University of New Mexico’s Health Sciences Center in 2003 to build primary care capacity to treat disease in rural underserved areas using videoconferencing and case based learning in “teleECHO” clinics.

HAB HIV Performance Measures

These performance measures, created by the HIV AIDS Bureau (HAB) of the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), are comprised of indicators that providers can use to monitor the quality of care they provide patients with who have HIV/AIDS. The performance measures also include screening for hepatitis B and C and hepatitis B vaccination.
