For more than a decade, the Georgia Department of Public Health (GDPH) has relied on the Georgia TB Reference Guide — a 112-page pocket booklet — to share important information on tuberculosis (TB) prevention, diagnosis, and treatment across the state.

While this printed guide has been a trusted resource, its static format no longer meets the needs of today’s fast-changing public health environment. Updates happen only every few years and require reprinting and distributing thousands of copies statewide.

As a result, providers often rely on outdated information or have to search through lengthy PDFs to find what they need. These challenges revealed a clear opportunity: to transform the guide into a dynamic, digital tool that offers real-time updates, quick access, and an improved user experience for healthcare professionals across Georgia.
