Implementing active surveillance for tuberculosis: A quality improvement project
The CHWs in this study, although capable and motivated, lacked opportunity to perform adequate community-based TB screening because of the lack of supportive supervision, inadequate recordkeeping, and a district managerial team that focused on the practice population rather than the population at risk.Contribution: We recommend a continuing QIP and a re-education of health care providers about community-based health services.
