Coordinated care for tuberculosis: data registration and implementation of a computerized system

Authorship SCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

Abstract

Objective

to analyze sources of data for tuberculosis (TB) before and after the implementation of the Computerized System to Record Care for TB in Ribeirão Preto - SP.

Method

Intervention, descriptive-analytical epidemiological study. Data was collected from secondary sources using a structured form, and analyzed using Chi-squared or Fisher’s Exact Test, with a significance level of 5%.

Results

We found an association between the period before implementation of the system and placing the Directly Observed Treatment Card in the file, and registration of instructions for the return visit by the nursing team. The latter was associated with an increase in registered data regarding TB patient telephone number, address, end of treatment date, status at closing, sputum smear results for monthly control, HIV test, monthly checkups, tests ordered by physician, social worker visits, patient living conditions, contact control, social incentives and the use of drugs and alcohol.

Conclusion

Implementing the system improved the registration of a number of variables, despite the fact that other sources of data other than the system continue to exist.

Health information systems; Assessment of tuberculosis healthcare systems

Sections	Variables
I - Data from the DOT follow-up file (yellow file) and the computerized SISTB system.	Records of DOTs performed The existence of the DOT card in the clinical file TB patient notifying party control data Contact data (address and telephone) for TB patients Location where the majority of the medication supervision was performed
II - Information in the TB patient registration and follow-up book (Green book).	TB patient i.d. records TB patient clinical information records Test results records (sputum test, X-Ray, HIV), including monthly control tests Status at closure records
III - Clinical File Data	Monthly physician, nurse and social worker visits Instructions given and procedures performed by the physician and nursing team Records of other Healthcare Services used by the TB patient Records of DOTs performed TB patient living conditions TB patient tests during treatment Records of notifying parties Social incentives offered to the TB patient Use of drugs and alcohol by the TB patient
