  1. CDC Tuberculosis Surveillance Data Training Revised Report of Verified Case of Tuberculosis (RVCT) Self-Study ModulesCourse Overview <Insert Faculty Names and Organizations> Course Developed by Division of Tuberculosis Elimination Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)

  2. RVCT Revision Timeline 2007 1993 2001 2005 2008 2009 CDC and OMB clearance Last major RVCT revision RVCT revision work group conducts compre-hensive review of RVCT Continued collabor-ation with experts on specific variables Request for review and comments from TB partners RVCT implemen-tion RVCT Training materials developed Software developed

  3. Revised Report of a Verified Case of Tuberculosis (RVCT)

  4. Tuberculosis Surveillance Data • Some jurisdictions use their own form • Use variables from RVCT • May include additional variables • This training is not about software • RVCT data is collected for surveillance purposes (not research)

  5. How Do You Use RVCT Data?

  6. Benefits of RVCT Data • Increased ability to assess program performance, completeness of data collection, and accuracy of reporting • Improved data for program planning and performance development • Facilitate patient services

  7. Consequences of Inaccurate, Incomplete, or Unknown RVCT Data • Inaccurate follow-up of services to patients • Inadequate resources (e.g., funding, staff, facilities, drugs, and supplies) • Inaccurate evaluation and policy development • Misrepresentation of the public health burden of TB • Inability to measure TB program indicators that are based on surveillance data

  8. RVCT Data Collection Enter RVCT datainto system Collect information from patients Review patient information and RVCT data for accuracy Analyze and disseminate data Use data for program management, evaluation, and policy Transmit, validate and manage data

  9. Importance of Training Staff on How to Use the RVCT If staff do not learn how to accurately complete the RVCT… Garbage in = Garbage out If you use RVCT data how will this impact you?

  10. What is the Status of the Software? • TIMS has retired (some sites may continue to use until cases are closed) • States have 4 software options • CDC developed NEDSS Base System (NBS) • CDC developed eRVCT Software • Commercial system(Atlas PH, Consilience, CIMS, or STC) • State developed system

  12. RVCT Training Program • Purpose • To train health care workers on how to accurately complete the revised RVCT • Target audience Health care workers from state and local healthdepartments, territories, and Pacific Islands who • Collect the data from patients • Complete the RVCT form • Enter data from the RVCT into the data system • Monitor accuracy of TB program data collection • Analyze data from the RVCT

  13. Types of RVCT Training RVCT Self-Study Modules • Participants work at their own pace • Print-based modules Facilitated Training Sessions • Participants work through the Self-Study Modules and participate in discussions with a facilitator Training-of-Trainers • Participants learn how to teach a facilitated training session to others

  14. RVCT Training Course Objectives After working through these modules participants will be able to • Distinguish between the three reports included in the RVCT form • Recognize the items on the RVCT form • Use the RVCT instructions to determine how to complete the RVCT • Accurately complete the RVCT form

  15. Agenda for 2-Day Course Day 2 - Interactive course format • Participants work through short sections of the modules • Read content and instructions for each of the items • Work through exercises (study questions and case studies) • Facilitator leads a group discussion on content, instructions for the items and answers to the exercises

  16. Course Materials Documents are final! • Report of Verified Case of Tuberculosis (RVCT form) • RVCT Self-Study Modules • Answer sheets for recording answers • Posttest • End of course evaluation

  17. RVCT Self-Study Modules • Table of Contents (indicates which items are new, revised, and there is no change) • Introduction • Module A – page 1 – Items 1 - 16 • Module B – page 2 – Items 17 - 25 • Module C – page 3 – Items 26 - 37 • Module D – page 4 – Items 38 - 40 • Module E – pages 5 & 6 – Items 41- 49 • Appendices
