Abstract:
Tuberculosis is a significant public health problem. Health care agencies and hospitals are mandated to have in place protocols to manage patients with suspected or confirmed cases and to implement infection control measures to prevent the spread of the disease. A facility with a high percentage of infected patients developed and integrated a standard of care to improve the management and outcomes of infected patients.
