After the release of the Tuberculosis Isolation and Restrictions Implementation Guide earlier this year,  The Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) in partnership with Heartland National TB Center rolled out a five-part online training series outlining the shift in practice towards release from isolation and practical applications of how and when these new guidelines appear in the field. Each session provided a specific focus on the new guidelines as well as key factors to consider when deciding to release from isolation or assign restrictions.
