Application: 
Tuberculosis case finding at the pharmacy using trained pharmacists and an electronically monitored referral system to reduce TB transmission in the community by shortening the diagnosis delay.

The essence of the idea. TB suspects often purchase antibiotics from pharmacies prior to visiting health facilities for TB diagnosis. A referral system from pharmacies to facility-based diagnostic/treatment centers will reduce transmission by shortening the diagnosis delay.
