We do not have separate organisms but have a canned text that is entered on each report with one of those organisms notifying it is a MRSA or VRE.

Do you create separate organisms (Methicillin Resistant Staph aureus, Enterococcus faecalis VRE, Enterocuccus faecium VRE) in addition to normal organisms? Do use chartable procedure prompts for MRSA and VRE which are attached to Staph aureus, E. faecalis, etc, that are only resulted when MRSA or VRE is confirmed? How do you handle these organisms on your microbiology analyzers (Vitek or Microscan)? Thanks in advance?
