Data Validation Process

Introduction

Since November 2000, the Institute of Public Health (IPH) implemented a continuous data validation process in order to evaluate the accuracy and validity of the data reported to the national surveillance of nosocomial infections in intensive care units.
First results have been presented on a seminar at the IPH and at the 4th IFIC congress in Malta on November 11, 2003 (4th IFIC congress): presentation and abstract.
