Current News is our focus for March and April. The Surveillance Summary for Acute Viral Hepatitis released in March indicates declining rates of all three common types of Hepatitis, A, B. and C. Underlying the good news is the continuing importance of making sure that adults, especially in segments of the population still living outside of the reach of most health care systems, are screened, offered B vaccination, educated about risks, and tested as necessary.
This month's issue includes: 10 Charting Handout: A guide compiled by the HepTalk team to help you assess the risk assessment portion of your clinic’s forms. 2. Three articles regarding the effectiveness of charts, checklists, and other tools to increase preventive care. 3. Two articles regarding the use of EMR (electronic medical records).
