Encoded Guidelines for Targeted Latent Tuberculosis Screening Using an Electronic Medical Record

To determine the impact of information technology on embedding the latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) screening guidelines in an electronic medical record (EMR) in a large health care system. The long-term goal of the study is to test clinician adherence to LTBI screening guidelines using an EMR system. However, preliminary results are presented on the potential impact on providers on implementing the alerts on targeted high-risk patients.
