Description:All health-care settings need an infection-control program designed to ensure the following:
• Prompt detection of infectious patients;
• Airborne precautions; and
• Treatment of people who have suspected or confirmed tuberculosis (TB) disease.
In order to be effective, the primary emphasis of the TB infection-control program should be on achieving these three goals.
In all health-care settings, particularly those in which persons who are at high risk for exposure to Mycobacterium tuberculosis work or receive care, policies and procedures for TB control should be developed, reviewed periodically, and evaluated for effectiveness to determine the actions necessary to minimize the risk for transmission of M. tuberculosis.
