Goals

The main objectives of this project are:

• Identify and evaluate the existing HAIs management processes in the participating hospitals;
• To collect data about antimicrobial resistant HAIs, in order to highlight the fragilities of each hospital in the use of antibiotics;
• To design and implement a new toolkit to help/assist health professionals dealing with antimicrobial resistant HAIs;
• To evaluate the toolkit in the control and prevention of antimicrobial resistant HAI;
• To provide access to the toolkit from an internet portal and its dissemination to other European and Portuguese Speaking countries.

Ultimately, we expect to develop a combination of tools and implementation strategies with the aim of diminishing the emergence and transmission of antimicrobial resistant pathogens.
