Abstract

A web-base reporting system was developed in order to feed back the results of the 2006 prevalence survey of healthcare-associated infections in a timely manner to all participating hospitals in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. The database accommodated ∼75 000 records from over 250 hospitals. The reporting system was hosted on the National Health Service intranet, accessible via secure login. Users were able to access their individual Trust data via a series of predefined reports and an export facility was included to facilitate additional analysis. The reporting system was made available to participating hospitals within 12 months of completion of the survey. From the results of a user satisfaction survey, end-users responded positively to receiving feedback in this format. It serves as a useful model for the feedback of results for future prevalence surveys.
