  1. New Technologies for Tuberculosis Control: Programme Perspective Draft Definitions Retooling Task Force Meeting Geneva, Switzerland 15-16 January 2008

  2. Adoption Introduction Implementation Analysis of benefits, risks, & health system capacities; Decision-making to incorporate the new tool into the National Tuberculosis Programme; Communication of recommendation and policy Regulatory & registration compliance; Phase-in/phase-out plan preparation; Guidelines, tools, & training materials revision; Financial resources mobilization; Procurement and logistics management; Staff training Advocacy, communication, social mobilization Carrying out phase-in & phase-out plans; On-going operational activities; Monitoring and evaluation of implementation progress & new technology performance

  3. Health Technology The term “health technology” refers to the application of organized knowledge and skills in the form of devices, medicines, vaccines, procedures and systems developed to solve a health problem and improve quality of lives. WHO Sixtieth World Health Assembly. Fourth Report of Committee B. Draft. A60/62.23, 23 may 2007.

  4. Adoption A multi-sector process resulting in an explicit global and/or country policy decision to access and use new and improved health technologies, including strategies for tuberculosis control. Global and/or country policy decision to adopt a new and improved health technology follows an analysis of benefits, risks, and costs of the health technology and the health system’s capacity to finance, manage and ensure its sustainable access and appropriate use. Communication of recommendations and policy decision is undertaken before introduction and implementation.

  5. Introduction The set of coordinated activities that is carried out to prepare for effective and sustainable access to the new and improved health technology. Global and/or country introduction includes ensuring appropriate new technology regulation and registration, preparing phase-in/phase-out plans for procurement and logistics management, revising guidelines, tools, & training materials, financial resource mobilization, initiating staff training and advocacy, communication, social mobilization activities.

  6. Implementation The activities that put into effect the policy and monitor and evaluate the progress of these activities and the impact on tuberculosis control. Implementation activities include the execution of a phase-in/phase out plan, on-going technical programme and supply management procedures, and monitoring and evaluation of programme implementation and new health technology performance.
