The San Francisco TB Clinic provides consultation, directly observed therapy, case management and clinical services for patients with TB infection and/or disease. A Disease Control Investigator is assigned to each active TB case to investigate who has been exposed, provide testing and follow-up of contacts, assess the sites of potential transmission, and promote patient adherence. Each active case is assigned a nurse case manager who oversees the care of the patient until completion.
In addition, all patients with confirmed or suspected active TB on TB medications and being discharged from the hospital or transferred to another healthcare or congregate facility require written approval by the health officer / San Francisco TB Control.
