Course Name: WHONET & QAAPT: Level 1 for Beginners

Description

In this course, you will learn how to configure a laboratory in WHONET, perform data entry, analyze data using both predefined and custom reports, and carry out BacLink data conversion. It will also cover WHONET data analysis using the QAAPT software. This course is specifically designed for the Institute for Medical Research and the National Institutes of Health, Malaysia.

WHONET is a free desktop Windows application for the management and analysis of microbiology laboratory data with a particular focus on antimicrobial resistance surveillance developed and supported by the WHO Collaborating Centre for Surveillance of Antimicrobial Resistance at the Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts.

QAAPT, which stands for Quick Analysis of Antimicrobial Patterns and Trends, is a free, web-based tool for visualizing antimicrobial resistance data. Developed by the CAPTURA project, QAAPT is designed for use by decision-makers, including healthcare professionals, national AMR coordinators, microbiologists, technologists, and practitioners involved in AMR surveillance or microbiology laboratory work. It seamlessly integrates with WHONET software, allowing for the direct importation of WHONET SQLITE and CSV files.
