Patient-centered care is a central pillar of the World Health Organization’s End TB Strategy. Understanding where patients access health services is a first step to planning for the placement of services to meet patient needs and preferences. The patient-pathway analysis (PPA) methodology detailed in this article was developed to better understand the alignment between patient care seeking and tuberculosis service availability. A PPA describes the steps that people with tuberculosis take from the initial care visit to cure. The results of a PPA reveal programmatic gaps in care seeking, diagnosis, treatment initiation, and continuity of care. They can be used as inputs to an evidence-based process of identifying and developing interventions to address the gaps in patient care. This paper summarizes the steps to conduct a PPA and serves as the basis for understanding country case studies that profile the use of PPA.
