Effective Hepatitis C Screening In High Risk Populations, Aekata Shah, Do, Jennifer Seymour, Do
House Staff Quality Improvement and Patient Safety Conference (2016-2019)
Purpose
The purpose of our study was to demonstrate how various quality improvement initiatives activated in selected Jefferson Northeast family medicine teaching offices have enabled effective HCV screening. Given the cost effectiveness of screening and early treatment versus treatment of the disease in the later stages of progression,8 we hope to encourage other primary care offices to implement quality initiatives to encourage appropriate HCV screening. This is especially important for the baby boomer generation, as well as for high risk individuals with a history for and/or current IV drug abuse or other high risk behaviors.

Implementation Of A Volunteer-Based Hospital Program For Older Adults, Elizabeth Collins, Md, Kristine Swartz, Md
House Staff Quality Improvement and Patient Safety Conference (2016-2019)
Background
- A multi-faceted, volunteer-led, hospital-based program1has been shown to: •Reduce the incidence of delirium •Decrease hospital length of stay •Reduce hospital costs.
- Implementation of such a program requires upfront investment.
- A smaller, volunteer-based visitation program for older adults may provide support for the allocation of more hospital resources in delirium prevention and establishment of a formal Hospital Elder Life Program1in this institution.
- This research aims to investigate: •If the implementation of a visitation program is feasible at this hospital •Volunteer experience with the program.
