Integrated Care for the Use of Direct-acting Antivirals in Patients With Chronic Hepatitis C and Substance Use Disorder.

Objectives: Since little is currently known about predictors of response to direct-acting antiviral agents (DAAs) in people who inject drugs, we undertook an analysis of patients attending a hepatitis clinic with addiction services (outpatient clinics and inpatient services) to examine the outcomes associated with the treatment of difficult-to-manage patients with substance use. Our experience was based on integrated care.

Method: A retrospective analysis was undertaken of 50 patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV) and a history of addiction who received treatment with DAAs, according to European guidelines.

[Equity and planning: a critical analysis of a third generation regional healthcare management program].

The third generation of the regional healthcare organization plan (Sros III) proposes to develop the organisation of healthcare and its management according to evolution of its activities and the populations concerned. At the time of a strategic analysis of SROS III (what we refer to as its perinatal period), the question is whether promoters can move from an approach based on accessibility (egalitarian equity) to a needs-based approach (differential equity), which although more complicated in to apply and implement, was found be much better adapted to healthcare users. The research is derived from an analysis of documents from November 2004 to November 2006.
