5 TB Control Priorities by % complete treatment within 12 months 2. Case rate 0.7/100, Contacts Smear positive case will have at least 1 contact 93% of contacts will be evaluated 79% of new positive contacts will complete treatment 4. New case will start treatment within 7 days
6 1. TB Technical Expertise Airborne pathogen TB-control measures Public health systems and processes for controlling TB The epidemiology of TB disease and LTBI Regions around the world with a high incidence of TB and migration patterns Risk factors for acquisition of TB infection and progression of infection to TB disease The groups at high-risk for TB
7 1. TB Technical Expertise Diagnostic tests for TB and interpretation of test results Treatment regimens for TB and LTBI Public health goals for TB patient management including promptly initiating and completing effective treatment, stopping transmission, and preventing development of drug-resistant TB
8 1. TB Technical Expertise Reviews data on TB cases in order to monitor and evaluate Treatment regimen orders Treatment plans and adherence Treatment barriers and interventions Treatment completion Identification, screening, and medical evaluation of high-risk TB contacts
9 2. Oversight and Consultation Knowledge of state and national TB guidelines Ensure patients are on appropriate treatment, adhere to the treatment, monitor adverse events and drug side effects as needed, monitor response to treatment, and ensure treatment is completed on time Prevent development of drug-resistant TB
10 Case Management Definition Primary responsibility for coordination of patient care to ensure that the patient s medical and psychosocial needs are met through appropriate utilization of resources and the case: Completes a course of therapy Is educated about TB and its treatment Has documented culture conversion Has a contact investigation completed, if appropriate Contacts are evaluated and treated
11 Elements of a TB Control Program X-ray Inpatient care Non-TB medical services Home evaluation Housing Guidelines Targeted testing/ LTBI treatment Medical evaluation and follow-up Social services Interpreter/ translator services Case Management Isolation, detention National surveillance Coordination of medical care DOT Contact investigation Federal TB Control Program Technical assistance Training Funding Patient education Follow-up/treatment of contacts Consultation on difficult cases Clinical Services HIV testing and counseling Data collection Epidemiology and Surveillance Outbreak Data analysis Investigation Program evaluation & QA, QI for case planning management Data for national surveillance report State TB Control Program Funding State statutes, regulations, policies, guidelines Training Information for public Pharmacy Laboratory
12 Elements of a TB Control Program Inpatient care Clinical Services Non-TB medical services Home evaluation Housing Guidelines Interpreter/ translator services medical care DOT Epidemiology Contact investigation Case Management Isolation, detention Coordination of Federal TB Control Program National surveillance Patient education Follow-up/treatment of contacts Consultation on difficult cases and Surveillance Outbreak Investigation State TB Control Program State statutes, regulations, policies, guidelines Information for public
13 TB Case Management Home evaluation Isolation and detention Coordination of care Evaluation of treatment response Patient education DOT Contact Investigation Follow-up of contacts Outbreak investigation Inpatient care Non medical services Interpreter/translation services Information for public Data collection Referrals Housing
14 Initial steps: reported TB case or suspect A nurse CM should be assigned to every case All critical information is collected Before seeing patient gather as much info as possible Demographics Patient weight Diagnostic work-up to date Current treatment, if any Risk factors Other important facts Family/living situation Work place/school/social
15 Initial steps: reported TB case or suspect Clinical Setting NP Formulate recommendations about diagnostic and therapeutic options for patients suspected or known to have TB Employs and evaluates appropriate diagnostic and therapeutic interventions and regimens for patients infected with TB and social networks affected by TB, with attention to safety, cost, invasiveness, simplicity, acceptability and efficacy.
16 Initial steps: reported TB case or suspect Contact new cases/suspects within 3 days of initial report Consult with medical provider to gather additional information and treatment plan, if needed Conduct initial interview with patient Recommend first visit in hospital, if hospitalized Anyone else with symptoms Recommend home visit early in initial follow-up period Assess exposure sites for likelihood of transmission Home/work/school/social environments Space, ventilation, presence of high-risk persons
17 Initial steps: reported TB case or suspect Assessment of the treatment plan Re-calculate dosages Enough meds? Right meds? Assess for potential drug-drug/food/herbal interactions Apply knowledge of community and public health resources for prevention and treatment of TB to optimize health care for patients with TB and their social networks. Health director involvement/legal action
18 Initial steps to the reported TB case or suspect Initial patient education Disease vs. Infection Transmission, signs & symptoms, treatment and importance of completion, diagnostic procedures, monitoring and follow-up, meaning of test results. Role of patient in treatment plan, role of case manager, role of health department Treatment plan Direct Observed Therapy (DOT Agreement form) Handling side effects, change in symptoms Disease of public health significance Consequences for failure to follow treatment plan
19 Patient Education
20 Evaluation: Response to Therapy Improvement of TB symptoms Cultures convert to negative by end of initial phase; if not extend treatment Improvement in CXR or other diagnostic tests Treatment completion is based on number of doses ingested over a given time period
21 Potential for Treatment Failure Sign and Symptoms Is patient s treatment adequate Delay in sputum conversion Worsening clinical status or signs of improvement Lack of improvement on x-ray Drug side effects Poor absorption of drugs Complex case co-morbidity, side effects Drug resistance
22 Assessment Barriers to Adherence Minimum: Monthly Nursing Assessment Personal Social Cultural Spiritual Health Care System Individualized Nursing Care Plan Least restrictive Care Continuum Most restrictive Self administered DOT Voluntary or Compulsory Fixed dose comb pills Hospitalization
23 Assessment Barriers to Adherence Potential Triggers History of previous incomplete treatment Treatment failure or lapse in treatment Delay in sputum conversion Missed appointments Other medical conditions: substance abuse, mental illness Homeless or migrant populations Lack of access to health care Health/cultural beliefs
24 D.O.T. Is Right for Me!
25 Contact Investigations (CI) The need for a CI is based on transmission risk: Infectiousness of case Characteristics of the contact Environmental characteristics Initiate < 3 days Test high priority < 7 days Test medium priority < 14 days
26 Contact Investigations (CI) Assessment of infectiousness Sputum reports/collection positive smear more infectious Determination of period of infectiousness Length of time symptomatic Extent of disease Non-cavitary or cavitary disease Isolation instructions and agreement
27 Contact Investigations (CI) Priority of Contacts < 5 years Immune suppressed, i.e., HIV Window prophylaxis Length of exposure Start with closest contacts Home/work/school/social Expand when there is evidence of transmission and conversion» Secondary case» Positive TB test
28 Contact Investigations (CI) Characteristics of Exposure Is environment conducive to transmission Small, enclosed Length of exposure Home/work/school/social
29 Someone I Know has TB What do I do now?
30 2. Oversight and Consultation Provides educational programs to health professionals, students and the general public Case managers Health department Correctional facility nurses Other health care professionals caring for high risk populations, i.e., HIV, substance abuse, refugee programs
