Abstract
India's Revised National Tuberculosis Control Programme (RNTCP) used the international benchmarks of 70% case detection rate and 85% treatment success rate among new smear-positive tuberculosis (TB) cases for assessing programme performance. This approach overemphasises outcomes and focuses on quantitative benchmarks without sufficient regard to developing systems to monitor appropriate programme practice to achieve a minimum standard of TB care services. The RNTCP has developed a novel composite indicator tool based on a logical framework pathway to move beyond narrow-focused outcome indicators such as case detection to encourage a broad-based analysis of programme implementation. The constituent indicators are from routinely monitored information, spanning input, process, output and outcome indicators across various thematic categories of the RNTCP.Entities:
