{{Discussion}} The directions state that we only need a date, if you want a time we could put the time of the sent culture if this is needed.--[[User:LKolesar|LKolesar]] 07:33, 2018 November 21 (CST)

{{Discussion}} Is this something we should discuss in task? Using the culture date may be easier for consistency, but I also agree with Lori that CXR's are our confirmation of a VAP, using the new criteria. --[[User:Jvelasco|Jvelasco]] 12:47, 2018 November 21 (CST)
