Objectives

  • Identify innovative outreach strategies, point-of-care testing technologies, and automated hospital system tools to successfully find, diagnose, and reconnect high-risk populations to Hepatitis C care
  • Use validated risk scores, liver stiffness measurements, and new blood biomarkers to identify which patients remain at high risk for liver complications or liver cancer even after achieving a viral cure (SVR)
