## Background

The name HelicsWin.Net originates from the Microsoft Access application HelicsWin developed by the former European HELICS (Hospitals in Europe for Infection Control through Surveillance) network for the surveillance of HAI. HelicsWin was originally developed as part of an ECDC contract for further Hospital Software Support for the European Surveillance of HAI, which included HelicsWin for the surveillance protocols Surveillance of healthcare-associated infections in Intensive Care Units (ICU) and Surveillance of surgical site infections (SSI).

HelicsWin.Net was originally developed by the ICT department of the Scientific Institute of Public Health, Brussels, Belgium under contract ECD.2218 and its amendment ECD.2764 until September 2011. In September 2011, development of HelicsWin.Net was transferred to ECDC.
