Objectives/
Content |
|
The first day in the afternoon and all day on the second day you will learn the theory and practice of the “cohort review” method, originally designed by Karl Styblo, to systematically analyze treatment outcomes of every documented TB case in your program area. This useful
approach serves several purposes: staff motivation, program review, and training needs assessment. During the second day you will observe how the cohort review process is practiced by staff of the Bureau of TB Control, New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, and discuss how to modify or apply the method in your own program area.
By the end of the course you will be able to:
• Define the cohort review approach
• Discuss the roles key TB control staff play in the cohort review process
• Describe elements of the cohort review process
• Organize the details of a complex case into a brief oral presentation
• Collect data from a cohort review session and calculate statistics for various outcomes
• Identify reasons for program failures and discuss how this information can be used to improve program performance
• Plan how to adapt and implement the cohort review method in your program area |
