Implementation Support

Checklists: The checklist translates the Bree guidelines into action steps for that sector (i.e., clinician, health delivery site, public health, etc.). The action items have been arranged into levels 1, 2, and 3 to correspond to the difficulty level of implementing the action into the sectors’ setting. Bree staff co-created the checklists with report workgroup members and topic experts.

• Delivery Site and Health System Checklists: Level 1, Level 2, Level 3
• Health Care Professional Checklists: Level 1, Level 2, Level 3
• Health Plan Checklists: Level 1, Level 2, Level 3
• Public Health Agency Checklists: Level 1, Level 2, Level 3

Topic Overview: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is the most common chronic blood-borne pathogen in the US and a leading cause of complications from chronic liver disease. In 2018, an estimated 59,100 Washingtonians were living with HCV, prompting Governor Inslee to issue Directive of the Governor 18-13: “Eliminating Hepatitis C in Washington in 2030 through combined public health efforts and a new medication purchasing approach.”
