dc.description.abstract<p>Phase II of the Surveillance to Reduce <a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/medicine-and-dentistry/urinary-tract-infection" title="Learn more about Urinary tract infection">Urinary Tract Infections</a> project piloted a website for point prevalence surveys of healthcare-associated (HAUTI) and catheter-associated urinary tract infection in Australian hospitals and <a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/medicine-and-dentistry/aged-care" title="Learn more about Aged Care">aged care</a> homes. This report describes development and evaluation of the website for online data collection. Evaluation findings from 38 data collectors indicated that most respondents found website registration and web form use easy (<em>N</em> = 22; 58% and <em>N</em> = 16; 43%, respectively). The need for improved computer literacy skills and automated data systems were highlighted. This study demonstrated a novel approach for Australian HAUTI data collection; however, refinements are needed before national roll-out.</p>
