Paediatric TB IC plans

Started by Susan Adolph on 13 Dec 2011

Hello all,

Does anyone have any examples of a paediatric TB IC plan? At the moment I am consulting for 2 paediatric locations. The first is a sensitive paediatric TB hospital including diagnostic and laboratory areas (smear and gene expert, no culturing) and the 2nd is an adult facility in which we have one area for paediatrics MDR cases. Although the majority of the plan will be similar to that of adults I expect there should be some small differences, particularly in the area of patient and parent education. Any thoughts or examples that people would like to share?

Thanks,
