HEALTHQUAL Brief on Quality Improvement and Tuberculosis

September 2010

Over the next several months, the HEALTHQUAL Update will be replaced by a four-part series on quality improvement in tuberculosis care and treatment.

Each “HEALTHQUAL Brief” will cover innovative and effective improvement activities aimed at curbing TB infection, highlight tools for the integration of HIV/TB programs, and describe government-level efforts to build and reinforce systems focused on reducing the burden of TB and TB/HIV coinfection.

The first brief in this four-part series includes QI activities aimed at bolstering TB clinical screening from Uganda’s Kumi Hospital, the national referral hospital for TB in that country’s eastern region. This issue also includes a case-study from FHI-Senegal conducted in partnership with the Senegal Ministry of Health to improve TB patient care in Mbao, Senegal.
