“…To assess treatment outcomes of patients in rural Western Australia with hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection treated using videoconferencing, investigators compared the sustained virologic response rate of patients treated using videoconferencing to that of patients treated in in-person clinics and found no significant difference 15. These results were similar to those of other studies conducted in underserved communities and in the custodial setting 28. Project Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes (ECHO), which was developed at the University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center, is a combination of store and forward and live video.…”

The US Health Resources and Services Administration defines telehealth as the use of electronic information and telecommunications technologies to support long-distance clinical healthcare, patient and professional health-related education, public health and health administration. Many studies have supported the use of telehealth to increase convenience to patients, improve patient satisfaction, diminish healthcare disparities, and reduce cost that will ultimately lead to improvement in clinical outcomes and quality of care. However, guaranteeing confidentiality, educating patients and providers, and obtaining insurance reimbursement are some of the challenges that face the implementation of telehealth program. The use of telehealth has been investigated in acute infections, such as endocarditis and chronic infections as in hepatitis C, and HIV. The purpose of this review is to focus on the use of telehealth services for people living with HIV (PLWH). For PLWH, telehealth could be particularly useful by connecting specialty providers to an underserved population and addressing many of the factors identified as barriers to HIV care. To date, the literature supports the use of telehealth for the management of chronic diseases including HIV. Most of the studies showed a high acceptability and positive experience with telehealth services among PLWH. However, fewer studies have evaluated telemedicine for chronic direct care of PLWH. Well-designed studies are needed to show that the implementation of telehealth could improve the HIV care continuum. In addition, future research should focus on identifying the group of patients that could benefit the most from such intervention.

Background: Infection with hepatitis C virus (HCV) is increasingly recognized as a major global health problem. Objectives: The aim of this study was to measure the prevalence of HCV infection and determine the risk factors associated with HCV among male people who inject drugs (PWID) in Kermanshah, Iran. Methods: In this cross sectional study, the samples were recruited from 2 drop-in centers and related community outreach sites, using snowball sampling. The questionnaire consisted of 3 sections, including demographics, drug use patterns, and risky behaviors. HCV infection was tested in venous blood samples, collected from the participants, using the ABON rapid test kit. Logistic regression analysis was used to determine the association between HCV status and the associated factors, reported as odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI).

“…The nursing practice draws considerably from the successful Australian in rural settings (Nazareth et al, 2013) and in shared care arrangements experience of nurse models of hepatitis C care in a variety of settings, e.g. tertiary based liver clinics, prison settings, (Lloyd et al, 2013), in opioid substitution settings (Alavi et al, 2013).…”
