When participating in the Global-PPS, online data entry is an important step. We have now created a set of tutorial videos to guide you through the process of online data entry, validation and reporting. Together with the Global-PPS IT manual, these videos will help you to become more familiar with the different features of the Global-PPS data entry environment.

A step-by-step approach is key in creating your hospital’s Global-PPS database. Therefore, each video demonstrates a specific step in the process, from creating an account and registering your hospital, to entering and validating your data and downloading your personalised reports. There is a specific video on entering data for the new healthcare-associated infections (HAI) module. Furthermore, we will walk you through the most important aspects of the Excel database export, in case you would like to do your own analyses. 

The tutorial videos and IT manual are available on our online data entry environment under the tab ‘instructions’. A link to the data entry environment is available on the home page of the Global-PPS website.
