BACKGROUND: Collaborative care models that utilize pharmacists can expand hepatitis C (HCV) treatment access, but little is known about primary care provider (PCP) views on such models of care. We characterized PCP experiences of HCV treatment and assessed acceptability of leveraging pharmacists to treat HCV.
METHODS: We surveyed a convenience sample of Washington (WA) State PCPs regarding HCV treatment, experience of collaborating with pharmacists, and comfort with pharmacists managing HCV care. We report summarized descriptive statistics of survey responses.
RESULTS: Seventy-three PCPs completed the survey, 55% of whom prescribe buprenorphine for opioid use disorder. Nineteen percent directly treat HCV. Forty-five percent were aware of collaborative practice agreements (CPAs) and 22% reported interest in establishing a CPA to treat HCV. Most respondents were comfortable or extremely comfortable with pharmacists managing key elements of HCV care.
CONCLUSIONS: In a sample of WA State PCPs, of whom greater than half prescribe buprenorphine for OUD, fewer than 1 in 5 directly treat HCV. Comfort with pharmacists managing most components of HCV treatment was high, but a minority of PCPs were familiar with or interested in establishing CPAs. Additional efforts are needed to leverage pharmacists to treat HCV, including among people who use drugs.
