Benefits of screening healthcare workers (HCW) and residents

HCWs are at risk for TB and are also potential sources of transmission. Early detection helps prevent transmission, preserves resources and helps avoid TB outbreaks.

CDC/NTCA requirements

Baseline TB testing is recommended at hire for HCW and at admission for residents. State and local requirements may supersede these recommendations.

Advantages of IGRA for staff screening

An IGRA test requires a single doctor visit and provides clear, objective results. It is also unaffected by prior BCG vaccination.

About this webinar

This webinar highlights the importance of TB screening in long-term care (LTC) settings, where undetected cases can pose significant risks to vulnerable elderly populations and staff. Led by Dr. Connie A. Haley, it reviews current CDC/NTCA guidelines and compares the TB skin test (TST) with interferon-gamma release assay (IGRA) testing. The webinar highlights and explores the practical advantages of IGRA tests and how they enable efficient screening workflows in long-term care facilities.
