Dual Reporting States

Cross-posting from Connect:
This question was posted to the NIST V2Reportable googlegroup by Donna Featherston donna.featherston@cookchildrens.org:

For states that are Dual Reporting, tests that are not performed at your facility (instead performed at Reference Labs) have to be reported in the ELR or can it continue to be reported as current state. (Reference Labs already report these and Infection Prevention & Control faxes these to the state).  Reference Labs do not flag results as reportable, so we would have a problem identifying them in the interface.
