[[Unknown Pathogen]]
*[[User:MWaschuk|MWaschuk]] 17:46, 9 June 2010 (CDT)
As part of an effort to reduce relying on paper notes during collection, Marie brought up the possibility to put ''"waiting for tests"'' and ''"review"'' as options into the pathogen dropdown and to conditional-format the field in orange if they are chosen. Of course, choosing them would also disable checking DX complete.

Some of you are entering [[Unknown Pathogen]], and then re-check all patients with unknown pathogens before sending.

* Would anyone else find this useful? Should it be included in the Master DB? [[User:Ttenbergen|Ttenbergen]] 17:34, 9 February 2010 (CST)
* Actually, I don't understand how this is better than just leaving the entry as "No Value" until you know what you will put there. This way you would get an error if you tried to set the dx to complete. Can someone explain to me how a different dropdown would improve upon this? I don't see how you use this in the field, so I might be missing something. [[User:Ttenbergen|Ttenbergen]] 19:43, 30 December 2010 (CST)  
** Yes, I would find this useful
***I usually put unknown pathogen in my pathogen slot if waiting for results, then when rechecking the profile upon discharge, I re-check on the EPR for results again. If still no results, I generally do not hold the profile longer. I wonder what our policy should be on this.  How long should we hold a profile for possible results?  This could back up our flow of profiles quite a bit. What does everyone think?--[[User:LKolesar|LKolesar]] 15:08, 10 June 2010 (CDT)
**** I do the same as Laura. [[User:DPageNewton|DPageNewton]] 17:11, 2 November 2010 (CDT)
*At HSC we wait 5 days and if no results back we send the profile.--[[User:CMarks|CMarks]] 08:19, 3 November 2010 (CDT)
 


Also, some of you were addressing here how long they wait for a pathogen which is not immediately available; that is discussed in the article [[Pathogens]]. Here i am wondering if additional options would make collection easier.
