title: The information superhijack.
abstract: Infection control teams are not alone in their need to manipulate data. How best can such manipulation be achieved and what tools are available to turn information into knowledge. The workshop included discussion and demonstration of some methods currently being used by infection control teams. While the workshop did not aim to produce all the answers, participants were able to question, discuss and learn new ways that they might take their own practice in the future.
