28. Tuberculosis ProgramHeidi Behm, RN, MPHTB Controller/Nurse ConsultantHeidi.behm@state.or.us

29. Tuberculosis • Airborne disease • Approximately 70 – 80 cases of TB disease per year in Oregon • Approximately 1 multidrug resistant case per year in Oregon. • Latent TB infection vs. TB disease

30. Latent TB Infection • Person is not sick, not infectious • Is not reportable (optional to enter into Orpheus) • LHDs are not required by program element to test for LTBI or treat unless B waiver, contact to case or transfer (even these could be referred out with LHD oversight)

31. TB Disease • Sick. • Can be in any body site. • May be infectious, if disease is pulmonary • Typical treatment is 6-9 months. If multidrug resistant, 18-24 months. • Many patients have comorbidity such as diabetes, substance abuse, mental illness or HIV. • 50-60% of Oregon cases are foreign born. • Can be stressful, complex, expensive and difficult for LHD to manage. Staff will need your support!

32. TB Disease- program element requirements • Must assign a case manager (usually RN) to assess in person monthly and ensure appropriate care/treatment by either LHD or outside provider. • Patient must be on directly observed therapy (DOT). • If pulmonary, laryngeal or pleural must have contact investigation. • Detail: https://public.health.oregon.gov/ProviderPartnerResources/LocalHealthDepartmentResources/Documents/pe/PE%202015-2017/PE%2003%20TB%20Services__FINAL_060415.pdf

33. DOT (directly observed therapy) • Patient must be observed taking pills Monday- Friday (no weekend or holidays). • LHD must ensure DOT takes place and is done correctly…but… • Does not need to be done by LHD. • Options: video/virtual (careful about HIPPA) EMS pharmacy school nurse or college clinic employee health patient comes to your clinic be creative!

34. Contact Investigation • Because TB is airborne can be large (100 +). • Follow-up is complex requiring two rounds of testing, possible chest x-ray and 12 weeks-9 months treatment. • Focus on close family and friends first. • Call us before starting a large investigation in jail, school, workplace, etc. May not be needed! • Questions about exposures in healthcare settings can be forwarded directly to me.

(we can fund temporary staffing, but LHD needs to know how they will surge) • What will you do if a patient or contact has no medical provider?
