Tuberculosis (TB), which infects one-third of the world population, is a disease with one of the highest mortality rates in the world (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2016a). It is reported that there is an approximately low TB occurrence in nations that have the highest income and middle income; however, there are specific communities such as homeless, poor people and lawbreakers in these countries that have the highest TB incidence (Gärden et al., 2013). Therefore, public health policies about preventing and treating tuberculosis in the marginalized and disfavoured groups have never failed to get social attention. The city of Toronto has been applying Nightingale’s theory of ensuring ventilation and warming, maintaining the cleanliness, and reinforcing the observing of the sick to develop a TB program in order to diminish the spreading and impacts of TB as well as to enhance the support for displaced, disciplinary communities.

Tuberculosis is a respiratory disease prevalent in the fourteenth century yet until now, it is still considers the disease as “the top infectious disease killer worldwide” (World Health Organization, 2015). Tuberculosis is caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteria and transmitted by inhaling droplets from the respiratory tract of person with an active TB (WHO, 2015). In 2013, there are 287 cases of tuberculosis in Toronto (Toronto Public Health, 2013a), 43 of these cases are from the homeless or under housed populations (TPH, 2013b) The Toronto Public Health (2015a) identified people who live and work in residential setting such as in shelter and correctional facilities along with Aboriginals and Immigrants as the people at risk of TB (People at risk section). The City of Toronto demonstrates the Nightingale theory in the Tuberculosis Prevention and Control Program by observing the patients through Directly Observed Therapy, providing management protocols for shelter, drop-ins and correctional settings and presenting best practice guidelines to make sure the health of the houses.

Categories in which a person may have previously developed TB are those who had close contact with an infected patient; a foreign-born patient who lived in an area where TB was prevalent; and groups that are susceptible to exposure to TB are the homeless, prison inmates, drug users, and HIV-infected individuals. The following are risk factors that are associated with a weakened immune system: HIV infection, substance abuse, immunosuppressive therapy, children under the age of 5, low body weight, and diabetes mellitus (CDC, 2012).

Spectrum Health Big Rapids Hospital is experiencing two issues in the X-Ray room, which has led to a huge waste of time and lack of patient’s satisfaction. The first issue is that there is only one radiology technician to pick up the patient from the waiting room, make sure they are dressed correctly, and then bring them to the exam room. This creates a lot of travel for the radiology technician and forces both the radiology technician and the patient to wait for each other at different parts of the process. The second issue is that patients don’t feel comfortable being undressed for a long time if the radiology technician takes a while to get prepared. These two issues can negatively affect the hospital’s workflow and employees.
