CPE Reporting Survey

The surveillance of CPE is not designed as a hospital performance indicator but a measure of burden of CPE in the patient population. Reporting of surveillance data enables clinicians and other staff to be up to date with emerging threats and helps in allocation of appropriate resources to surveillance programs. VICNISS is keen to provide these reports, and is looking for your input in the process.
