Boosting TB Notification (BTN) for DTOs

PROBLEMS:

Covid has had a devastating impact on the TB Free efforts of the Government of India (GoI). Most significantly, TB notifications have been reduced by 30%-50% in the initial stage of the pandemic and failed to reach  the 2.4 million annual TB notification target for 2021. There is an urgent need to boost TB Notification, especially post-Covid.

Message from Mr. Vivek Oberoi to all our DTOs

BOOSTING TB NOTIFICATION GOALS:

DTOs in the nation will initiate a TB Notification Campaign using the PDSA quality improvement process guided by CETI (Collaboration to Eliminate TB among Indians) and Emory University.

  1. Increase notification for TB by 10% over the course of a year by implementing the Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) -Quality Improvement Initiative (QII)
  2. Engage over 500 DTOs covering all the districts in a virtual 8 week session for 1.5 hours each week.
  3. Provide certificate of completion from Emory University, Central TB Division, WHO, IIPH and CETI to successful DTOs.

PROCESS:

Engage Central TB Division and WHO consultants as key partners along with CETI, Emory Faculty, IIPH (Indian Institute of Public Health) staff and others..

  • Directed by CTD, over 500 DTOs will join in the QI project to conduct a PDSA cycle to increase notification.
  • An e-PDSA tool developed by CETI will be shared with all DTOs.
  • CETI will use the QIC (Quality Improvement Counsellors) who will work step-by-step with DTOs to be successful with their PDSAs.
  • QIC interns will be recruited from IIPH-Gandhinagar and other institutions to work virtually with DTOs.
  • DTOs will attend Webinar sessions on Friday afternoon from 4:30 PM to 6:00 PM. Respective WHO consultants will assist DTO teams.
  • DTOs along with QIC and CETI Faculty will develop a PDSA cycle with an aim statement, process measures, outcome measures, interventions, root cause analysis and run chart of the PDSA on increasing notification.
