Abstract
This report discusses the CDC launch of the TB Genotyping Information Management System (TB GIMS), to improve dissemination of data to state and local health officers, including TB controllers. TB GIMS builds upon the established infrastructure of CDC’s National Tuberculosis Surveillance System (NTSS) and incorporates genotype data to create a centralized database and reporting system of patient-level results to generate local and national TB cluster-level reports, tables, and maps.
