Completing the TB Follow-up Worksheet Indiana State Department of Health February 2009

Worksheet Objectives The TB Follow-up Worksheet is designed to – collect information on immigrants and refugees who have migrated to the US. They were classified overseas during the required medical examination process with a TB condition. Follow-up evaluation in the US was recommended. The TB Follow-up Worksheet is generated from the CDCs Electronic Disease Notification(EDN) system by ISDH. ISDH sends the overseas medical information and TB Follow-up Worksheet to the Local Health Department (the county of the immigrants/refugees [I/R] residence). The Local Health Department submits the completed TB Follow-up Worksheet to ISDH within 30 days if possible. Information from the TB Follow-up Worksheet is entered into the EDN system by ISDH and then transferred electronically to CDC. Indiana State Department of Health
