Re: unknown pathogen-cultures sent for infections.
#Are all sites following up with the final pathogen or report and sending in to Pagasa? 
#What is the time limit for this…do we stop looking in med records after X number of weeks if unable to get the results or keeping revisiting the chart? 
#Or is it fine to leave as unknown? Thanks.  [[User: Mlaporte |Marie Laporte]] & [[User: Lpruden2 | Lorri Pruden]] Nov 24.2010
*HSC waits five days for culture results and then send as negative if not back per our understanding from years ago.--CMarks 15:18, 30 November 2010
*What I have been doing is after 5 days if cultures don't come back then I put unknown. Also some cultures are sent to Cadham lab and they often are not back when the patient is discharged.[[User:GHall|GHall]] 12:38, 1 December 2010 (CST)
