  1. ImprovingTB-DM Care in the Pacific: Partnerships and Progress R. Brostrom, MD-MSPH Hawaii TB Control Branch Chief Regional TB Field Medical Officer, CDC-DTBE CDR USPHS

  2. TB-DM: Partnerships and Progress in the Pacific • Stop TB Strategy and PPM • TB-DM in the Pacific • Pacific Partnerships • Clinical Partners • Policy Partners • Research Partners • Summary - Questions

  3. Components of the Stop TB Strategy • “Evidence suggests that failure to involve all care providers used by TB suspects and patients: • hampers case detection, • delays diagnosis, • leads to inappropriate and incomplete treatment, • contributes to increasing drug resistance, • places an unnecessary financial burden on patients.” • Pursue high-quality DOTS expansion and enhancement • Address TB-HIV, MDR-TB, and the needs of poor and vulnerable populations • Contribute to health system strengthening based on primary health care • Engage all care providers • Involve all public, voluntary, corporate and private providers through Public-Private Mix (PPM) approaches • Empower people with TB, and communities through partnership • Foster community participation in TB care, prevention and health promotion • 6. Enable and promote program-based operational research WHO Stop TB <http://www.who.int/tb/careproviders/ppm/en/>

  4. US Pacific Region for TB Control

  5. Pacific Partnerships for TB

  6. Tuberculosis Campaign Challenges: 1912 “Lack of therapeutic treatment standards” “Poor reporting of cases under supervision” “Excessive charges to patients” Public Private Mix: New Priority?

  7. Advancing TB-DM Care: Why Partnerships? • Expertise Sharing • Out of our TB comfort zone • Chronic Disease model • Training Needs for screening • Resource Sharing • Attempting minor program expansion in a time of major program contraction • Maximize external funding support • Glucometers, A1C test kits, TSTs

  8. TB cases with DM Percent Adult TB Patients with Diabetes *Stephenson, BMC Public Health. 2007; 7: 234 ** Restrepo, Bull WHO,2011; 89: 352-9

  12. Partnerships in the PacificPartial List of Best Practices

  13. Best Practices: Regional Standards(Curry Center, CDC Diabetes Program)

  14. Best Practices: Saipan Island

  15. Best Practices: RMI Community Clinic

  16. Best Practices: TB Screening

  17. Best Practices: TB Screening • Ebeye: 3/10 to 8/11 (18 mo.) • Asymptomatic Diabetics Screened: 264 • # TSTs Completed 146 • # TSTs Positive 40 (27%) • # abnormal CXR 9 • # culture positive cases 5 • Asymptomatic people with diabetes in Ebeye: TB Case Rate: 3,425 / 100,000 • (11 x NTP Rate: 298 / 100,000)

  18. Best Practices: TB-DM Educational ToolAustralian Respiratory Council • Standardized approach • DOT-based education • Weekly topics: TB and DM • Simplified and focused • “Brief Intervention” • 5 min or less • Repeated messages

  19. Best Practices: Operational Research CDC, SPC • Kiribati • Evaluating extent of TB-DM • Outcomes for TB-DM • Hawaii - Guam - Saipan • Measuring A1C in TB-DM cases • Can TB programs improve glucose control during treatment?

  20. Best Practices: Hawaii Clinics • TB-DM Integration Plan - October 2011 • Establish Referral Centers for DM care • Diabetes Education Training • RN’s • DOT Staff • Integrate for Public-Public Mix • Latent Screening Centers • LTBI Treatment Centers • DOT Centers

  21. TB-DM: Partnerships for Progress - Summary Improved Life-Long Diabetes Control Improved TB Outcomes

  22.

  23. Questions?

  24. Pacific Partnerships for TB-DM • TB rates very high • Diabetes rates very high • 40% over 40 • “Double-digit diabetes” • Resource limited setting Challenge • Small programs • Multi-tasking is the rule • “Culture of collaboration” Opportunity

  25. Best Practices: Ummm Not so Much…
