Reasons for missed opportunities to screen and test for TB in healthcare facilities.
Missed opportunities for TB screening and/or passive testing in clinics continues to contribute to the number of missed cases. To understand reasons for these missed opportunities, we conducted focus group discussions with clinic-based nurses. Nurses described low indices of suspicion, prioritization of seemingly more urgent ailments and clinic operational challenges as barriers to TB screening and testing. To improve TB screening and testing in clinics, standard patients should be used to identify real-time factors that impact nurses' clinical decision-making and engage in real-time feedback and discussion with nurses to help optimize opportunities for TB screening and testing.
