Tuberculosis (TB) surveillance in China is organized through a nationwide network of about 3200 hospitals and health facilities. In 2005, an electronic Tuberculosis Information Management System (TBIMS) started to be phased in to replace paper recording. The TBIMS collects key information on TB cases notified in TB care facilities, and exchanges real-time data with the Infectious Disease Reporting System, which covers the country's 37 notifiable diseases. The system is accessible to authorized users at every level of the TB network through a password-protected website. By 2009 the TBIMS achieved nationwide coverage. Completeness of data on patient bacteriological end points improved remarkably over time. Data on about a million active TB cases, including drug-resistant TB, are included each year. The sheer scale of the data handling and the intricate functions that the China TBIMS performs makes it stand apart from the electronic information systems for TB adopted in other countries.
中国的结核病监测工作是通过一个由大约 3200 家医院和卫生机构组成的全国性网络来组织的。2005 年，电子结核病信息管理系统（TBIMS）开始逐步取代纸质记录。TBIMS 收集结核病防治机构报告的结核病病例的关键信息，并与传染病报告系统实时交换数据，后者涵盖了全国 37 种法定传染病。该系统通过受密码保护的网站向结核病网络的各级授权用户开放。到 2009 年，TBIMS 已实现全国覆盖。患者细菌学终点数据的完整性随着时间的推移显著提高。每年约有 100 万例活动性结核病病例（包括耐药结核病）的数据都包括在内。庞大的数据处理量和中国 TBIMS 执行的复杂功能使它与其他国家采用的结核病电子信息系统区别开来。
