500 Implementing a Large-Scale HCV Treatment Program Without an EHR*
Description

Not having an EHR makes implementing a large-scale project challenging. In 2020, the New Mexico corrections department proposed an initiative to eliminate HCV in the prison system, which is being accomplished cost effectively with 340B pricing. This presentation will discuss how to organize a large pool of candidates, create a secure HCV patient database, and treat large numbers of patients in a system without an EHR.
