ABSTRACT
To reduce TB deaths, Tamil Nadu, a southern Indian state, implemented the first state-wide differentiated TB care strategy starting April 2022. Triage-positive severely ill patients are prioritised for comprehensive assessment and inpatient care. Routine program data during October-December 2022 revealed that documentation of total score after comprehensive assessment was available in only 39%, possibly indicating poor quality of comprehensive assessment. We confirmed this using operational research. The case record form to record comprehensive assessment was used only in 26% and among these, the completeness and correctness in filling out the form were sub-optimal. There is a clear need to enhance the quality of comprehensive assessments.
Depuis avril 2022, le Tamil Nadu, un État du sud de l'Inde, a mis en œuvre la première stratégie de soins différenciés pour la TB à l'échelle de l'État afin de réduire le nombre de décès dus à la TB. Les personnes gravement malades ayant obtenu un résultat positif au triage sont prioritaires pour une évaluation complète et des soins hospitaliers. Les données du programme de routine entre octobre et décembre 2022 ont révélé que la documentation du score total après l'évaluation complète n'était disponible que dans 39% des cas, ce qui pourrait indiquer une mauvaise qualité de l'évaluation complète. Nous l'avons confirmé par le biais d'une recherche opérationnelle. Le formulaire de dossier pour enregistrer l'évaluation complète n'a été utilisé que dans 26% des cas et, parmi ceux-ci, l'exhaustivité et l'exactitude du remplissage du formulaire n'étaient pas optimales. Il est manifestement nécessaire d'améliorer la qualité de l'évaluation complète.
