Hospital In Europe Link for Infection Control through Surveillance (HELICS) is an international network aiming at the collection, analysis and dissemination of valid data on the risks of nosocomial infections in European hospitals. The site aims to become a crossroad for nosocomial infection practitioners in Europe. |

The National Nosocomial Infections Surveillance (NNIS) system was developed in the early 1970s to monitor the incidence of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) and their associated risk factors and pathogens. The NNIS system currently is undergoing a major redesign and, once implemented, the redesigned system (to be called the National Healthcare Safety Network [NHSN]) will cover new areas of patient safety monitoring and evaluation. CDC’s Division of Healthcare Quality Promotion manages the NNIS system and posts many of its publications on the Division’s website. |
