Linkage to Clinical Care

Refer to List of Preferred Health Care Providers:

Patients receive primary care and are tested for TB. Access the NYC Health Map for no- to low-cost TB services.

Efficient Screening and Chest X-ray Process:

Develop protocols and guidelines for expediting the screening and chest x-ray to minimize waiting times and reduce the risk of patient’s loss to follow-up.

Address Communication Challenges:

Given limited staff and resources, prioritize face-to-face communication with culturally-competent staff with written paper reminders or use low-cost communication methods like text messages, or WhatsApp for patient outreach and reminders.
