This holistic, interdisciplinary treatment model has allowed UKHC to increase treatment attachment rates for hepatitis C diagnoses in the ED from approximately 10% to 54%. This program has also reduced the median time to treatment of hepatitis C-infected individuals encountered in the ED from approximately 420 days to 17 days.
