2. Data entry using the web-based global-PPS tool: proceed STEP BY STEP !

See IT-manual available here

1. create your login to get access to the Global-PPS web application (go to register). Participants who participated in previous years need to use their existing login ! This is important to allow you to download a longitudinal feedback report for your hospital.
2. register the hospital (the system will attribute a hospital ID number) : this can be done via the 'My institutions > New'-menu item. Contact global-pps if you can't find the region, county or district for your hospital.
3. First select the appropriate survey : go to Surveys/Available and select one of the appropriate surveys :
   1. 2021 Global-PPS (Jan-Apr) - NEW protocol
   2. 2021 Global-PPS (May-Aug) - NEW protocol
   3. 2021 Global-PPS (Sept-Dec) - NEW protocol
   For the actual data-entry go to Surveys/Subscribed and activate your survey. You will now see the survey appearing in the black bar on top of the page.
4. Define next all your departments at institutional level: go to Departments/New. One needs to define ALL departments of the hospital; these will afterwards appear in the drop down boxes during data entry. Hospitals who participated in previous years need to define extra department types next to their already existing department groups. Also, verify whether changes to departments need to be done or whether a new department needs to be defined.
5. Enter the denominators for the ward(s) under surveillance (go to Surveys/New Ward).
6. Only when you have defined your denominators, you can enter patient data (go to Surveys/New Patient). You can enter ward and patient data (one by one) whenever collected and completely available on the paper forms.
