Abstract

In the global fight toward Hepatitis C elimination, hear insights into how to build a cost-effective screening program that is evidence based and improves outcomes by leveraging immunoassay-based testing algorithms. Hear how one country leveraged an anti-HCV and HCV Ag testing algorithm in their HCV screening program to increase the number of patients who ultimately received a complete diagnosis while also reducing the overall program cost.

Learning Objectives

Explain the importance of screening programs and current barriers that exist using the current testing diagnostic testing algorithm.
Discuss how to structure a program to improve the effectiveness of your screening program
Determine how leveraging an HCV antibody and HCV antigen immunoassay testing algorithm is a cost-effective approach to screening while also increasing the likelihood patients will receive a diagnosis
