=== BALs don't imply C+S ===

When a BAL (Bronchial Aspiration and Lavage) is done, and a '''specimen is sent''' for bacterial or fungal cultures, then include in count for C+S. Don't assume when BAL is done that a culture for C&S is sent. Check the EPR.

=== not included ===

Counts not included as sputum for C+S:

*AFB - test done differently and in separate medium so not counted under C+S

* AFB - test done differently and in separate medium so not counted under C+S

*Viral - totally different testing method, so not counted under C+S. - Dr. Kumar. - [[User:TOstryzniuk|Trish Ostryzniuk]] 17:55, 2014 October 21 (CDT)

~~Staff should be counting labs off EPR. Note, C+S report can take 1-3 days, so keep this in mind when doing your counts.~~
