## PPS validation tabs

The Validation tabs in the Hospital surveys, Ward PPS data and Patient forms are used by validation teams, only if the current survey is a validation study of the primary PPS for the hospital (validation checkbox in hospital data form checked), following the validation protocol.

PPS validation is in principle performed by an external validation team trained by the national/regional PPS coordinating centre. The objective of the validation study is to assess the sensitivity, specificity and/or reproducibility of the data collected in the ECDC PPS.
