How do the national TB program objectives compare to the 7 performance objectives in the 2005 cooperative agreement announcement on which programs are currently expected to report?
Most national TB program objectives are similar to the 7 performance objectives in the 2005 cooperative agreement. However, the national TB program objectives include a set of standardized indicators and calculations for measuring performance and progress. The national TB program objectives also include new objectives and measures (e.g., TB case rates [U.S.-born persons, foreign-born persons, and children younger than 5 years of age], treatment initiation, data reporting, sputum culture conversion, recommended initial therapy, universal genotyping, and sputum culture reporting) that are important to TB control. Data for these objectives are already being collected; monitoring progress on these objectives will enhance the programs’ abilities to improve program outcomes.
