DEcentralize Testing, Education, and Linkage to Care by Using Electronic Best Practice Advisory for Hepatitis B (DETECT-B)
Sponsor: Vietnam Viral Hepatitis Alliance
Summary
The overarching goal of this implementation study is to determine if an enhanced model of hepatitis B testing and linkage to care could be integrated into a public healthcare facility. To answer this question, the investigators will 1. evaluate the effectiveness of the implementation program (overall impact or individual components) in increasing the use of testing services and linkage to hepatitis B care and treatment, 2. evaluate implementation fidelity, sustainability, and integration of the implementation study and 3. analyze the costs and cost-effectiveness of the implementation study.

An enhanced model of hepatitis B testing and linkage to care
Implementing CME sessions (\<50 attendees) at Le Van Thinh Hospital will focus on preventive strategies for hepatitis B (HBV). We'll collaborate with IT to integrate a Best Practice Advisory (BPA) system into the hospital's electronic records for hepatitis B testing reminders. The system prompts healthcare workers when a patient lacks HBV screening notes, ensuring timely education and testing. Also, we'll introduce Point-of-Care (POC) HBsAg testing using SD Bioline HBsAg WB® for efficient screening and counseling, with follow-up to ensure care linkage within two weeks.
