HCV Pilot Shared Care Project Report At the end of 1999 Queensland Health (QH) funded a pilot program in the Shared Care of people with Hepatitis C (HCV). The pilot concluded at the end of April 2001. The aim of the pilot was to develop a set of protocols in the Shared Care of people with HCV that were portable and effective. At the end of the pilot recommendations were required to be presented to QH on the efficacy of a Shared Care model; structures and resources needed to maintain a Shared Care model; and the clinical pathway of a Shared Care model. This report examines these recommendations. HCV Pilot Shared Care Project Report January 2000 April 2001 [124mb]
