Hi Belinda

We currently are using surveillance software for surgical site surveillance, but you should have a look at the Queensland Health surveillance tools as they are quite useful (note: the old eICAT software is no longer supported or available).

Surveillance protocol: http://www.health.qld.gov.au/qhpolicy/docs/gdl/qh-gdl-321-7-1.pdf (note the surveillance manual is no longer available)

Signal surveillance: http://www.health.qld.gov.au/chrisp/signal_infection/manual.asp (great for smaller facilities with low numbers of SSIs)

Hope these are useful.

Cheers
Michael
