TB Skin Testing in Your Department

The Occupational Health Clinic (OHC) has many opportunities to help faculty and staff complete their TB skin test. Departments may also have TB Designees within their department place, read, and record TB skin tests for fellow Vanderbilt employees. To become a TB Designee, eligible staff must complete the TB Skin Testing Class.

TB skin test placements done by a TB Designee must be documented on the TB Skin Test Placement Form and all TB reads can be documented via the Easy Reader.

NO MORE Faxes! It's easier than ever to document your TB reads!

The Easy Reader can be found in 2 places:

  • Easy Reader icon on every Clinical Workstation (top section)

You can also add it as an external link in eStar.
