Abstract
ABSTRACTQuality improvement projects are an important part of education for residents and outcome-based projects, and data are required by ACGME. Our resident clinic conducted a quality improvement project regarding screening and treatment for hepatitis C. We improved our screening rate per CDC guidelines and found a prevalence of 1.9% in our clinic population, higher than the national prevalence. We, as internal medicine specialists, have also successfully treated several patients with Tenncare (the equivalent of Medicaid) and uninsured through improvement in our case identification, follow-up and use of specialty pharmacies and standardized order sets.
