The purpose of this workgroup is to inform and improve practices related to Legionnaires’ disease surveillance and response in local, state, tribal, and territorial settings.
Otherwise – looks good to me. Proposed change below:
Standardized reporting definitions[i] for healthcare-associated Legionnaires’ disease.
Probable healthcare-associated Legionnaires’ disease: A case with ≥ 10 days[ii] of continuous inpatient stay at a healthcare facility[iii] before onset of symptoms.
Possible healthcare-associated Legionnaires’ disease: a case with exposure at one or more healthcare facilities between two to fourteen days before onset of symptoms.

Under the iii reference, should there be clarification of what constitutes a clinic? Do we mean where any medical service is provided and is it only "brick and mortar settings?" What about mobile units?
