What is the Status of the What is the Status of the Software?Software?
• TIMS has retired (some sites may continue to use until cases are closed)
• States have 4 software options1. CDC developed NEDSS Base System
(NBS)2. CDC developed eRVCT Software 3. Commercial system
(Atlas PH, Consilience, CIMS, or STC)4. State developed system
• Purpose – To train health care workers on how to
accurately complete the revised RVCT
• Target audienceHealth care workers from state and local health
departments, territories, and Pacific Islands who • Collect the data from patients Collect the data from patients • Complete the RVCT form Complete the RVCT form • Enter data from the RVCT into the data systemEnter data from the RVCT into the data system• Monitor accuracy of TB program data Monitor accuracy of TB program data
