This webinar introduces the topic of Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) and its application in TB programs. The content will address basic features of an EMR, benefits and challenges of EMR incorporation, as well as tools and strategies to tailor EMRs specifically for TB programs. The format includes two case studies, followed by a moderated discussion.

These new guidelines supersede previous WHO policy documents on the management of LTBI in people living with HIV, household contacts of people with active TB, other groups at risk of developing TB, and for LTBI testing. The consolidated guidelines are expected to provide the basis and rationale for the development of national guidelines for LTBI management, adapted to the national and local epidemiology of TB, the availability of resources, the health infrastructure and other national and local determinants.

This information sheet discusses preventing occupational transmission of TB by means of an infection control program. It explains the three levels of TB infection control in health care settings: (1) administrative controls to minimize areas where exposure may occur; (2) environmental controls to reduce the concentration of airborne TB bacteria; and (3) respiratory protective equipment to be used in situations that pose a high risk of exposure.
