Point-of-Care Clinical Decision-Making: Test Your Skills in Evidence-Based HCV Management

Target Audience
This educational activity is intended for infectious disease specialists, gastroenterologists, hepatologists, primary care physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and other health care providers who interact with HCV-positive patients.

Program Overview
This virtual activity provides dynamic content, divided among 3 distinct clinical scenarios. Each clinical scenario will involve the participant’s decision-making and interaction with 2 virtual clinicians to gain their perspectives and feedback on management of hepatitis C virus (HCV) care and cure. One virtual clinician is a peer with whom the learner is collaborating, while the other is an expert in managing the given HCV-related circumstances. Scenarios also include virtual patient interactions and provide examples of best practices in patient-centered care for support of adherence, satisfaction, and outcomes.

Learning Objectives
Upon completion of the educational activity, participants should be able to:

Apply prevailing guidelines for HCV universal screening and risk-based periodic testing.
Provide guideline-based HCV care for treatment-naive patients with HCV monoinfection or HCV in HIV/HCV coinfection.
Engage in patient-centered care across the HCV-care continuum, incorporating harm-reduction principles and practices.
