This is an observational, retrospective \& prospective cohort study. The retrospective element of the study is a chart review to identify people with diagnosed but untreated HCV and re-link them to care. The observational prospective cohort element of the study will examine the HCV linkage to care, treatment initiation, treatment completion \& cure rates of these HCV clients achieved through this chart review and re-linking approach.

Having a positive HCV RNA laboratory result and lacking a sufficient previous course of DAA treatment.
The HCV nurse will attempt to contact the PWDU HCV via phone call and text. If unable to connect with a client via phone, an alert is added to the client's chart in the electronic medical record. When the client presents to the CBSUTP for their regular substance use follow up appointment, the chart alert is flagged by the administrative team and the client is connected with the HCV nurse via telemedicine. Clients who are connected to the HCV team are considered re-linked. The HCV nurse will provide an HCV intake as per program guidelines. Clients who would prefer to pursue treatment elsewhere will be supported with a referral to their family doctor or an alternative HCV program in the community. Clients who choose to be treated at the CBSUTP will receive a HCV consultation, DAA treatment and follow-up from the HCV clinical team onsite as per existing program guidelines.

The study population for this research comprises individuals diagnosed with Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) who have not yet received treatment. Key characteristics of the study population include: Age: Participants are aged 18 years or older. Health Condition: All individuals have a confirmed positive HCV RNA laboratory result, indicating an active HCV infection but lack a sufficient previous course of treatment with Direct-Acting Antivirals (DAAs). Telemedicine Engagement: They have had at least one telemedicine visit with the community-based substance use telemedicine program (CBSUTP) between January 1st, 2023, and December 31st, 2024. Informed Consent: Participants possess the ability and willingness to provide informed consent to participate in the study.
