=== How long do we give Cadham to come back with results? ===
Give Cadham '''2 weeks''' from the time the culture was sent to come back with final results. If no results then, enter as '''suspect''' and '''send email to Myrna and Trish'''.

=== What if test was done at previous site? ===
What are we supposed to do when we can't find the results in the chart? Not on the EPR at the Concordia and the Oaks. If we can see it has been treated do we just leave it as treated or do you want us to wait to find the results? In some cases it could take weeks to find.
When the swab was sent at another site and that result is not on the chart or in the EPR, code as '''suspect''' and '''email Myrna and Trish'''.
