Results of a test for tuberculosis.
💬What Providers Tell Us
Based on community experience — not official guidance
Every child's file needs TB test results before admission, and inspectors pull files at random to verify. The most common gap is when a child transfers from another program and the parent says 'they already had it done.' You still need the actual results in your file, not a parent's verbal confirmation. Inspectors also check dates. If a child's TB assessment is a risk questionnaire rather than a skin test, make sure the form is signed by a physician. Keep a tickler file with assessment dates so you can flag families before records expire.

What Other Providers Do for Child TB Test Results
Common practices shared by providers. Confirm requirements with your licensing analyst.
✓ Common Practices
❌ Common Mistakes
- Accepting a parent's word that the TB test was done at the previous program instead of obtaining the actual documented results. Inspectors need to see the paperwork in your file, not a note saying 'on file elsewhere.'
- Not distinguishing between a TB risk assessment questionnaire and an actual TB test. Some children receive a doctor-signed risk questionnaire instead of a skin or blood test. Both can satisfy the requirement, but the form must be properly completed and signed by the health care provider.
- Letting children start before TB results come back. Providers enroll a child on Monday, the test was done Friday, but results aren't available for 48-72 hours. The child's file gets pulled during that window and there's no documentation to show.
- Filing generic physical exam forms that don't specifically address tuberculosis. A well-child checkup form may not include TB screening results. Inspectors look for explicit TB documentation, not general medical clearance.
