Health First Europe organised this meeting of the European Parliamentary Interest Group on Innovation in Health and Social Care to discuss tackling antibiotic resistance and healthcare-associated infections.
This document is intended for hospital staff that use HelicsWin.Net to collect or administer data collected using ECDC’s HAI-Net surveillance of healthcare-associated infections methods (HAINet PPS and ICU).
