  (a) Hospital employed registrars shall report hospital cases.

  (b) Individual physicians, e.g., neurologists, and clinics shall report cases seen in their practices.

  (c) Pending implementation of electronic reporting by pathology laboratories, pathology laboratories shall allow the Registry to identify reportable cases and extract the required information during routine visits to pathology laboratories.
