Content Summary :
Case management is an effective method for use in tuberculosis control to ensure patients complete treatment. This model utilizes a team concept and is based on a philosophical and practical approach built on trusting relationships with the patient as a partner, which provides individualized care, patient education, advocacy, and promotes adherence and treatment completion. Goal: To have patients complete an appropriate and effective course of anti-tuberculosis treatment in the shortest time possible, without interruption in therapy, using the least restrictive measures indicated. Treatment Standard of Care: Evaluate every suspected and confirmed case of tuberculosis for the need for directly observed therapy (DOT) based on an assessment of risk factors for non-adherence. For persons on therapy for TB disease without any known risk factors for nonadherence, the Division recommends self-administered therapy, using fixed-dose combination pills (rifater for the initial phase and rifamate for the continuation phase) as the standard of care.
