Technical Brief 8: Tuberculosis Medical Information Systems: Improving Quality of Tuberculosis Care through Digitalization of Services in Kyrgyzstan

SHARE THIS

An outdated recording and reporting system reliant on paper-based forms and physical X-ray files and the use of different forms across various facilities for data collection creates a significant hurdle in monitoring individual TB patient cases and aggregating and sharing data. The reliability and accuracy of data are compromised by manual record-keeping characterized by high risk of errors and discrepancies arising from the use of different forms in different locations.

The USAID Cure Tuberculosis project, led by JSI, addressed the challenges in the Kyrgyz TB care system by developing and implementing case-based TB Medical Information Systems (TB MIS) to streamline TB care services by ensuring treatment continuity and reducing barriers to care.
