Riki Merrick, APHL | Dual Reporting States | Cross-posting from Connect: 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. Link to the CSTE COnnec tpost: https://connect.cste.org/communities/community-home/digestviewer/viewthread?MessageKey=2b45ec1b-242c-4df5-9050-4693014d2247&CommunityKey=0a8a57e8-cd6c-4fb9-8a43-018a09344624#bm2b45ec1b-242c-4df5-9050-4693014d2247 | Cody-OR is a dual reporting state. They do require facilities to send the dual lab reporting. They have to modify the sending information which if frequently not done. It is unknown whether childrens.org is a hospital. Generally speaking, it is expected for them to send the data. Jennifer S.(NC)-The provider report requirement is different than the lab report. Michelle M. (WA)WA is not a dual reporting state, though we do ask them to dual report if they are able. Consistently, lab staff state that if they do a sendout they don't worry about reporting because the reference lab is expected to report the test. We do find different capabilities for sending dual ELR reporting based on their system. We've had issues with Cerner sites. Ellison (CA)-CA is similar to what Jennifer is describing from NC Gerald B. (NH)-NH requires the hospital lab to report the reference lab tests to the state in addition to the reference lab report. Depending on software used in the hospital lab it can be a challenge. |
