Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) is a bacterial infectious disease and one of the biggest health problems public policy in the world. TB is curable, and most cases of death can be prevented withearly diagnosis and adequate treatment. In 2018, in the region of the 13th Department Regional Health Department of the State of São Paulo, the total number of confirmed TB cases in the Notifiable Diseases Information System, was 537. The main outcomes were: 366 cures, 73 abandonments and 19 deaths from TB (BRASIL, 2019). In this way, they are still research is needed that considers operational aspects of the treatment and control of its dissemination. Considering this scenario, the need to develop software that provides real-time information about the patient's path through the systems health information for rapid and adequate clinical decision-making is essential. A system that includes information on TB cases in a single database, it will provide a regional epidemiological scenario, assisting in the action plan against the disease. This is the proposal of the research "Digital health for the end TB strategy: from linked data integration to a better evidence-based decision making" in which this project is inserted. From this so the objective is to evaluate the implementation of a single and interoperable system for TB monitoring in the municipalities belonging to DRS XIII. (AU)
