The information superhijack

Infection control teams are not alone in their need to manipulate data. How best can such manipulation be achieved and what tools are available to tur n information into knowledge. The workshop included discussion and demonstr ation of some methods currently being used by infection control teams. Whil e the workshop did not aim to produce all the answers, participants were ab le to question, discuss and learn new ways that they might take their own p ractice in the future.
