Abstract
Disease-specific care cascades are important public health and organizational tools to characterize gaps in care and target resources, but they are labor-intensive to maintain. Using data available from the electronic medical record, we developed an algorithm with high accuracy for correctly representing an individual's status in the hepatitis C virus care cascade.
