This is a new plan requested by Infection Prevention and Control. The goal of this plan is to guide providers to order the correct TB order and reduce the number of exposures that we have.
1. Search for TB Testing Plan
2. This is what the plan looks like in PowerChart
3. Notice the notes above the lab orders. Please use these to select the correct lab order.
4. If you want to order the Mycobacterium/RIF by PCR, please select the first order
This will automatically place the second Mycobacterium/RIF by PCR order, the Culture Mycobacteria order, the Isolation Cart – Airborne order, and the Place Patient on Isolation Precautions order.
5. The Mycobacterium/RIF by PCR orders and the Culture Mycobacteria order have the same order sentences already built out. Please choose the appropriate specimen type.
6. Ordering the Quantiferon TB Gold Plus will not link to any other orders
A couple of notes:
The Mycobacterium/RIF by PCR order will be hidden outside of powerplans and care sets. You will still be able to order it within any powerplan or care set but will not be able to order it on its own.
If you are ordering the Resp BAL or Bronchial Washing care sets and want to order the Mycobacterium/RIF by PCR because you suspect ACTIVE TB, please stop and order this plan instead.
The Quantiferon Gold order will still be available outside the plan. Please observe that the lab must provide the quantiferon tubes and a Quantiferon Gold test must be ordered before 1200 on Fridays.
