1 e-tb Manager: A Comprehensive Web-Based Tool for Programmatic Management of TB and Drug-Resistant TB Management Sciences for Health

2 Facts about TB* TB is contagious and airborne; each untreated person with active TB can infect ~ 10 to 15 people a year One third of world population infected with TB (most vulnerable people with HIV) 1.8 million died in 2007 (TB is leading killer of people with HIV ~500,000 in 2007) 9.27 million new TB cases registered in 2007 TB is a worldwide pandemic: among the 15 countries with the highest estimated TB incidence rates, 13 are in Africa, while half of all new cases are in six Asian countries (Bangladesh, China, India, Indonesia, Pakistan and the Philippines) * from:

3 Facts about TB, cont. Multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB) is a form of TB that does not respond to the standard treatments using firstline drugs 511,000 new MDR-TB cases in 2007 Extensively drug-resistant TB (XDR-TB) occurs when resistance to second-line drugs develops WHO s Stop TB Strategy aims to reach all patients and achieve the target under the Millennium Development Goals (MDG): to reduce by 2015 the prevalence of and deaths due to TB by 50% relative to 1990 and reverse the trend in incidence Required investment to achieve the MDG target is estimated at US$ 67 billion (there s a 40 billion gap) * from:

4 International Response Guidance: WHO, StopTB, UNION TB control is well standardized (consensus on forms, guidelines, recommendations) Funding mechanisms: The Global Fund, UNITAID, Bill Gates, governments (USAID, DfID, etc) Sources of TB medicines: GDF, GLC Technical resources: UNION, KNCV, MSF, PIH, ICRC, MSH, etc.

5 Information management for TB: Information tools are required by Global Initiatives (GLC/GDF, Stop TB ) WHO ERR working group revised forms Catalogue (existing software) But to date there was no tool integrating consistently all programmatic dimensions for management purposes

6 NTP Challenges Most countries will not reach MDG by 2015 Lack of actual support from governments Low detection rate (poor diagnosis, advocacy, education) Poor compliance with treatment (by providers and patients) High default rate Co-infection with HIV Interruptions ti in drug supply (even the GDF countries) Spread of MDR/XDR TB (increased length of treatment and costs = X 1000) Lack of proper supervision, recording and reporting Many of the challenges can be addressed through strengthening MIS

7 e-tb Manager: Web based system Aligned with WHO recommendations for DOTS and DOTS Plus programs (standard data collection, recording and reporting) Easy online information sharing / consolidation between different levels and data extraction tool to other interfaces Rapid response to case and drug management issues Database protected by a validation process from upper level Internal security features and unique patient identification Developed with open sources technical solutions, no additional licenses needed Can be used with a mixed system of online reporting and paper system at periphery levels Easily customized, translated, adapted

8 Online notification and follow-up, recording clinical and laboratory results, tracking patient transfers in and out, providing data on patients regimen schemes, treatment adherence, patient contacts evaluation, consultation agenda Treatment and case management Data extraction tool / Operational and clinical research Information and surveillance management First Line medicines management Second Line medicines management Medicine needs forecasting, ordering, distributing, dispensing, and recording of stock movements + DM indicators at all levels For easy data analysis and export to statistical interfaces e-tb Manager Mapping of TB and MDR/XDR cases, epidemiological indicators, surveillance reports, previous treatment history, co-morbidities, up-dated information with ready access online at central and periphery levels

9 For the system to support the TB program appropriately, there must be clear guidelines and core staff must be experienced in MDR-TB management Diagnosis Treatment protocols, patient management Consistent flows for pharmaceutical management

57 e-tb Manager: Where Are We Today? Currently adopted as national TB surveillance MIS for DR-TB in Brazil (including all re-treatment cases for better prevention of MDR-XDR emergence) Integrated with the national DR-TB MIS in Romania and Moldova Active field pilot testing in the Philippines, Dominican Republic and Ukraine (on MOH server) Being adapted for: Armenia, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan Requests from countries: Namibia Collaboration with WHO a possibility for e-tbm to become a WHOrecommended MIS tool WHO request to implement in: Kenya, Ethiopia, Bangladesh, Vietnam

58 Challenges and Lessons Learned E-TBM cannot just be installed and used: Need for extensive TA to streamline the existing MIS for TB (procedures, SOPs, data forms) Need for adaptation to country requirements Training of users, TOT Lack of clear national treatment guidelines for TB and MDR TB, and SOPs for lab and drug management WHO is constantly changing data forms Lack of infrastructure: must develop PC-based provincial i databases

59 Challenges and Lessons Learned, cont. Need to sign a MOU: NTP may lack authority, bureaucratic procedures Engaging stakeholders national working groups Competition (most NTPs already have some electronic tools in place) Very limited it funding for e-tbm implementation ti Partnering with other projects in the field is crucial (but not clear how to formalize relations) Endorsement from major players is important (WHO, KNCV, UNION, GDF/GLC, UNITAID, etc.)

60 Implementation steps in a new country: May take from 2-3 months to one year Reconnaissance visit Present e-tbm main features Understand country s health system structure, operation, standards for TB and/or DR-TB, and needs Define necessary system customization Define working group, responsibility matrix and MoU On-site pilot On-site pilot on selected TB units to evaluate system effectiveness, fit with current flows and procedures and acceptance by end users System customization Customize e-tbm functionalities and interfaces to address country needs Final system adjustments Adjust system based on pilot outcome Remote testing Remotely test initial e-tbm version to identify potential bugs and need for further adjustments Implementation/ training Implement system on country s proprietary server and train IT personnel Train potential trainers or end users (depends on number of sites) System adjustments Adjust system based on remote testing outcome Maintenance Guarantee remote on-going support to country`s IT team and end users 59
