Treatment model initiatives have expanded to include telehealth services and open treatment capacity to non-physician providers, such as pharmacists. This study's objective was to assess the impact of implementing automated routine screening for hepatitis C virus (HCV) and a clinical pharmacist into the interdisciplinary care model on HCV diagnosis and treatment outcomes. This retrospective cohort study compared outcomes in a pre-intervention and post-intervention group. Patients were screened and diagnosed with HCV at Jersey City Medical Center (JCMC) and completed linkage to care at JCMC Center for Comprehensive Care. Interventions were the implementation of automated routine HCV screening in the ED and addition of a clinical pharmacist to the interdisciplinary patient care model. Primary endpoints analyzed the number of patients who have achieved sustained virologic response after 12 weeks of treatment (SVR12) and patients who have completed treatment with no reported record of SVR12. Secondary endpoints analyzed the number of patients lost to follow-up, appointment type, time spent in appointments, and clinical pharmacist specialist interventions. Data was collected as categorical variables and chi-squared tests assessed if there were differences between the two samples. Data was collected from 46 patients in the pre-intervention group and 37 patients in the post-intervention group. Patients consisted of mostly males. Ages ranged from 27 to 83 years old. Race included Black, White, Asian, and Other. This study's results showed the positive impact on implementation of routine screening, telehealth services, and an interdisciplinary team approach to HCV diagnosis and management. Given the timeframe, it also showed the potential positive impact on these interventions during a global pandemic.</p>","PeriodicalId":501014,"journal":{"name":"Innovations in pharmacy","volume":"14 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10653720/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138465310","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An estimated 2.7 million Americans are living with Afib<sup>1</sup>, a number that is expected to rise dramatically in the coming years. <b>Methods:</b> The aim of this demonstration project was to create an additional access point in the community at local pharmacies for Afib screening, detection, and referral to physicians for follow-up and initiation of evidence-based therapy when appropriate. This prospective research study was conducted with 14 community pharmacies across the US, in which a total of 650 patients were screened for Afib. Pharmacists conducted SAFEty Risk Assessments that consisted of completion of a Stroke Risk Scorecard and EKG determination utilizing AliveCor's KardiaMobile<sup>®</sup> 6L device. <b>Results:</b> In 552 (82.5%) of 669 total EKG readings, a \"normal\" rhythm was detected, and in 117 (17.5%) EKG readings an abnormal detection occurred. A total of 12 out of 650 patients (1.8%) received EKG readings of Afib, which is greater than double the expected prevalence of Afib in the US (0.81%), a statistically significant finding (p < 0.0001). Other notable findings included 42 (6.3%) EKG readings of Wide QRS, and 26 (3.9%) EKG readings of tachycardia. A total of 44 patients were referred to physicians for follow-up on their risk for Afib. <b>Conclusions:</b> Community pharmacies offer a unique, valuable access point for patients to receive Afib screenings.
