  The primary purpose of antimicrobial susceptibility testing is to provide information that will assist healthcare professionals in the management of their patients. This document provides reasons why antimicrobial susceptibility testing data may not be reported in the electronic health record.
  
  Highlighting these examples may assist antibiotic stewardship programs in validating, interpreting and applying antimicrobial resistance tracking and reporting at their hospitals.
