Overview
General Policies &
Procedures
Policies in Recording & Reporting
1. Patient data shall be collected, analyzed, and utilized to
ensure provision of quality and adequate services.

2. NTP recording and reporting shall be implemented in all

health facilities providing TB services (screening, testing,
diagnosing, treatment, and/or prevention) whether public
or private.

General Procedures on Setting-up TB Recording & Reporting

System

a. Request inclusion of new health facilities with TB

services in the TB Facilities Database of ITIS through
KMITS with courtesy copy to the Regional ITIS
Administrator. All registered health facilities are
assigned a NTP facility code.

ITIS directory: All mapped TB providers

b. Request inclusion of new health workers in TB Care

Providers Database of ITIS, through the Regional ITIS
Administrator.
• Among those included in the database, identify who will
be needing access to ITIS and request for User Account
through accomplishment of the KMITS Service Request
Forms (SRF).
• Authorized health workers include but not limited to
health facility head, nurse/s, designated encoders, NTP
coordinators at different levels, and notifying physicians.

Policies in Recording & Reporting
General Procedures on Recording

a. Use appropriate ink color for paper records.

• Use red ink for positive laboratory results (i.e.,
Xpert MTB/RIF, Smear Microscopy, and TBC
results), and resistance to drugs (i.e., LPA and DST
results).
• Use black ink for all other records not mentioned
above.
b. The physician or immediate supervisor is responsible in
ensuring accuracy and consistency of data recorded.
c. Ensure good recording practices. For corrections in
paper records, strike through wrong or outdated
information and correct or update data. Countersign
correction with initials of staff and date. For electronic
records, the audit trail reflects corrections made.
d. Update records daily.
e. Ensure newest form is used.
f. Do not leave any blanks. Indicate “N/A” if not applicable
to patient or patient is ineligible, “ND” for not done if
patient is eligible but activity was not done, “none” or “0”
if nothing, and “Unk” if unknown by health staff or
patient, accordingly.
g. The ITIS serves as the official TB register and records
may be encoded directly from Treatment card to ITIS.

Archiving of Patient Records

Archiving is the process of transferring data or records in a

less frequently used storage area in order to still keep the
record in case of future need.

Availability of storage space?

a. If storage space is available at the facility, archive all

paper-based records that are dormant or inactive for
five (5) years in a separate storage space with lock. If
storage space is unavailable, place the records in the
municipal/city archives.

b. Records for archiving can also be scanned and stored

electronically to save space. Make the storage device
password-protected.

c. Archive electronic records in ITIS 20 years after the end

of the most recent TB treatment episode.
Policies in Recording & Reporting
Disposal of Patient Records

a. After 2 years in archive, discard records.

b. Shredding is considered as the best method of disposing

confidential documents.

c. When disposing patient records, documents records being

disposed in a logbook.

7. The Integrated TB Information System (ITIS) shall be

the official electronic TB information system.

General Procedures on ITIS

a. Health care providers are capacitated in utilization of

ITIS through attendance in formal trainings or coaching
by a senior trained staff.

b. Assign at least one health staff as the ITIS Encoder.

Assign the head of the facility or the physician as ITIS
Validator to ensure the accuracy and consistency of
records and encoded data. Delegate task to another
health staff if head or physician is not available to be
the validator.

c. Request for an ITIS User Account for all ITIS Users

through accomplishment of the KMITS Service Request
Form and submission to the ITIS Regional
Administrator.
Policies in Recording & Reporting

d. Use the KMITS Service Request Form for other User

Account Updates such as but not limited to the following:
▪ Change of ITIS version (online to/from offline)
▪ Change of access level
▪ Update of assignment or contact information
▪ Account deactivation in the event of resignation, re-
assignment, or retirement
▪ Personnel who are already resigned, not in the facility, or have
been transferred to other program but have an ITIS account
MUST be requested for account deactivation directly to
KMITS.
▪ Password reset
▪ If the log-in details for the account has been forgotten, there is
no need to request for a new account. Send SRF to KMITS
stating the request for the log-in details.

e. Accomplish paper forms, as necessary, and/or directly

encode key information in ITIS. Key information include
information required to be reported.
▪ Use the ITIS to identify history and prior care of the patient and for
real time automated attendance checking during treatment.
▪ For health facilities implementing the ITIS Laboratory Module,
encode Laboratory Request Forms prior to sending of specimen
to the laboratory.
▪ Encode screening information, treatment cards, laboratory results
and update on patient at least once a week and encode daily
treatment and laboratory requests real time.
Policies in Recording & Reporting
General Procedures on ITIS

f. Validate cases and results in order to be counted in

respective reports. Validator must be different from the
encoder. Invalidated cases and results will be not be
counted in the report.
i. Designated ITIS Case Validator must validate the
encoded data to be counted as official case in the
report.
ii. Designated ITIS Laboratory Validator must validate
the to be automatically sent to the requesting facility.

g. Utilize ITIS and maximize its features. Use ITIS for

patient referrals, reporting adverse events, transmittal of
laboratory results, updating of health care worker and
facility contact information, updating of stock inventory,
and creation of graphical representations of
accomplishments.
Policies in Recording & Reporting
General Procedures on ITIS

h. Ensure ITIS security is maintained.

i. System will automatically log out once idle for 20
minutes. Reload the browser or re-launch the ITIS site
to log-in again.
