Sent by: tbnurses@ntca.simplelists.comHello-
We ended up with CureMD for our EMR. We have a TB team, school based clinics, and STI clinic that use it. Out of the 3 options we looked at this was the cheapest. It works pretty well for all of us. When we were looking we really liked Patagonia for TB in particular but it was pricey.
Best,
Salem

Hi, Ann,
Thank you for the response! We have an electronic tool for case management of all TB (TBI and TBD) for all of our counties to use. This particular country was seeking recommendations for affordable EMR for case management of allother diseases and caseloads. Hope that makes sense.

NURSING TIPS: When preparing to administer any drug to a client, consider what is often referred to as the "Five Rights" of medication administration:
§ Right client
§ Right route
§ Right drug
§ Right dose
§ Right time
Asixth right often mentioned, but not part of the original five, is the right documentation. Don't forget to administer the drug to the client first, and then document. Documenting beforehand is considered falsification of documentation and is a violation of the nurse practice act.

Hi Ann,
I am not sure if you are aware of the CDC STEMS LTBI & TB management system. It is a FREE open access EMR for managing TB patients. We were just starting to use it when COVID hit and have made little progress since. The STEMS platform was developed by CDC for use by participating sites in their Epidemiologic Studies Consortium II (TBESC-II) project aimed at increase diagnosis & treatment of LTBI in high risk populations. Because it offers most basic tools needed for EMR capture of LTBI patients, it has now been made available for any LHJ to use. Our LHJ was part of a CDC workgroup last year to help expand the platform to be used for Active TB patients as well as LTBI (building in lab capability, imaging, medications, etc; unfortunately no DOT monitoring tool built in yet). Prior to COVID, we participated in CDC’s online conference call twice a month for all jurisdictions using the platform to help identify problems and clarify system issues. I believe jurisdictions in Arizona, California, CO, NJ, WA, MN, and several other states were starting to use the system. There is also a really valuable CONTACT INVESTIGATION Module built in that is AMAZING! I am sending a screen shot of an NTCA announcement last February about demonstration of the system, as well as links to more STEMS info below:
CDC Page: https://www.cdc.gov/tb/education/stems.htm
STEMS Instruction Manual: file:///C:/Users/alund/Desktop/STEMS%20instruction%20manual_%20vr%201.2.2.pdf
Hope this is useful,
Ann
P.S. I noticed Peter Dupree from CDC CO was listed on the STEMS email group – he may have good info for you

Hello, all, and Happy Friday!
I have a question from an LPHA PHN from a rural county that serves approximately 15,000 people. They want to explore affordable electronic medical record systems. Can any of my exceptional TB colleagues offer a recommendation or two?
Thank you (in advance)!
