Common use of Tuberculosis Clause in Contracts

Tuberculosis. In accordance with Sections 25-1-122 and 25-4-501, C.R.S., DPHE maintains a system to track and document communicable disease including active tuberculosis (TB) disease. Latent (noninfectious) TB infection, however, is not a reportable condition, which severely limits DPHE efforts in designing and implementing TB elimination plans. Since most active TB disease in Colorado results from activation of latent infection, it is increasingly important for DPHE to be able to monitor latent TB screening, screening results, and treatment. The requested Medicaid claims data is essential for routine public health surveillance and to accurately track screening and treatment completion and the provision of subsequent follow up care.
