  1. WHONET and BacLinkLaboratory-based surveillance of infectious diseases and antimicrobial resistance John Stelling, MD, MPH Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Boston WHO Collaborating Centre for Surveillance of Antimicrobial Resistance jstelling@rics.bwh.harvard.edu

  2. The Complete Laboratory Information System • Clinical reporting • return results to clinicians • permanent record • Laboratory management system • preliminary and final results • guide technologists through needed laboratory tests • billing and financial accounting • Data analysis

  3. Uses of Microbiology Data • Laboratory quality improvement • Laboratory testing • Utilization of laboratory services by clinical staff • Infection control and outbreak preparedness • Identification of new and problem pathogens • Identification and investigation of outbreaks • Antimicrobial policy • Trends in infections and resistance • Characterization of cross-resistance • Development of treatment guidelines • Research • New resistance mechanisms • Risk factors for resistance • Evaluation of interventions

  4. WHONET: A Microbiology Data Management Tool • Enhance the use of locally-generated data • Antimicrobial policy, infection control • Laboratory quality assurance • Promote collaborations • National and international networks
