title: [The tuberculosis monitoring system in Moscow].
abstract: The existing need for objective assessing methods of different reform strategies in the health care system and of the epidemic situation has resulted in the setting-up of monitoring systems as the most efficient and rapid tool to solve health care problems on the evidence basis provided that the primary data are highly valid. Clinical epidemiological methods with monitoring results kept in mind make it possible to search for the optimum approaches to achieving a qualitative, accessible, and effective program for health care delivered to the population. The tuberculosis monitoring system to be introduced in Moscow can pool an information flow at the urban level, furnishes an opportunity to analyze and assess the activities of a phthisiological service, makes it possible to obtain pooled data on areas, to assess the epidemic situation and tuberculosis-controlling work, and to work out and implement antiepidemic measures.
