Abstract
Opinion leaders in infection control in Europe acknowledged the positive influence of public reporting on hospital performance and resulting efforts to reduce infections. They were in favour of reporting of individual hospital data if (i) process indicators rather than outcome data are reported, and (ii) delivery of surveillance is monitored by external audits.
