1651. Describing the Tuberculosis Infection Cascade of Care Based on Electronic Health Record Data

摘要

Appropriate screening of individuals to detect latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) is a critical step for achieving tuberculosis (TB) elimination in the US; >80% of TB cases are attributed to LTBI reactivation. TB infection testing and treatment must engage community health clinics where populations at risk seek care. However, there are significant data knowledge gaps in the current LTBI cascade of care (CoC) in this setting. We used an electronic health record (EHR) database from OCHIN, Inc., to characterize the LTBI CoC and identify potential future interventions.
