Peer-assisted telemedicine hepatitis-C treatment for people who use drugs in rural communities: a mixed methods study by Kim Hoffman, Gillian Leichtling, Sarah Shin, Andrew Seaman, Tonhi Gailey, Hunter C. Spencer, P. Todd Korthuis

“…Three themes were identified from the qualitative data (n = 12) including. (1) Key peer-level elements such as providing support during potentially difficult lab draws, creating a peer-facilitated “bubble of trust” between patients and clinicians, enabling technology access, conducting outreach to maintain contact and support treatment retention, and facilitating stabilizing wrap-around services (e.g., housing vouchers) (2) Key clinician-level factors such as capacity for unscheduled peer-facilitated appointments, having dedicated time for case consults with peers, and clinicians trained in working with PWUD and skilled in identifying related clinical concerns (3) Key systems-level elements such as standing lab orders, challenges related to specialty pharmacies and Medicaid managed care organizations, and streamlined communication strategies between peers and clinicians. …”
